Week in Review and Week to Come. Sunday the 18th of January 2015

A quick update on how this week's been going. Did I manage to do what I planned?

Monday: I played Squash, so tick that off.
Tuesday: I ran my 5 Miles, tick that off.
Wednesday: Slight change of plan, I ran 5 miles rather than 8, so not a tick BUT...
Thursday: I ran the 8 miles today instead of yesterday, so tick for Wedsnesday and Thursday.
Friday: I managed to do nothing, another tick.
Saturday: Nope
Sunday: Nope.

So once again I've failed on my long run. I'm blaming this on its cold, so not headingoutside, treadmilling for this distance is a tad dull. Mainly though laziness, and a beer tasting event this Sunday. So moving on from this, what's planned for the coming week

Monday: Squash
Tuesday: 5 Miles Running
Wednesday: 8 Miles Running
Thursday: 5 Miles Running
Friday: No Training
Saturday & Sunday:  Half Marathon Distance.

Let's see how this goes.

The Week In Review, And The Week to come. January 12th 2015

After having avoided any exercise since late November, this was the week where it all began again. Currently I'm concentrating on just my running, as I've a Marathon in Wrexham on the 8th of March. So maybe I went into this week with too big plans but we'll see. I'm using a slightly modified version of Hal Higdon's Marathon Training Guide , which can be found here, http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51138/Marathon-Novice-2-Training-Program and I totally recommend it. So the week as was: Monday: I did no training but I did go back to the work after the Christmas break so I;l let myself off. Tuesday: Did 4 Miles of Hill Training.Took just under 44 minutes Wednesday: Did 8 Miles, on an easy gradient, this took about 90 minutes. Thursday and Friday: I went to the pub Saturday: Here was where my big plans and slovenly lifestyle bit me in the arse. I'd intended to run 17 miles (27.5k) but made the mistake of spending the morning reading comics and then heading out to train without eating. Big Mistake. Got to the 12.5k mark and had to give up. I then had chips and a sausage roll so well done me. Sunday: Big bag of nothing. My training plan only had 3 sessions this week, so full marks for attendance, 2/3 for attainment.

Plans for the week ahead:
 Monday: 40 Minutes of Squash
Tuesday: 5 Miles Running
Wednesday:8 Miles Running
Thursday: 5 Miles Running
 Friday: Nothing
Saturday: 18 Miles (With food this time)
Sunday: Nothing
