Community HomeWe conquered Brean Down!
I can’t believe it’s almost a whole month since I updated this blog! How incredibly slack! Well I am happy to report that my training has been a lot more regular than my blogging!
So how has the training been going since the last entry? Very well thank you very much!
We’ve chalked up another couple of five mile runs, we’ve done some shorter runs, but done at a faster pace and we’ve even done a 60 minute run which included a stint along Brean Beach, and then up, across and over Brean Down. That one in particular is probably the highlight of the training so far and I think both Lisa and myself would be in agreement is that it was the sort of run that we could never have even imagined us completing a couple of months ago.
I have also finally bitten the bullet and started adding in an extra training run at the weekend; I figured I was being slightly fool hardy expecting me to complete the half marathon on just two training sessions per week!
Unfortunately Lisa’s training has had to be put on hold for a week or so as she’s locked away at home with suspected Swine Flu! But we’ve heard that she’s feeling better and her isolation period should come to end after this weekend.
So I think it will be another five mile run tonight, some interval training or hill sprints at the weekend, something like a gentle 3 miles to ease Lisa back in on Tuesday, and then think about attacking a 6 or 7 mile course on Thursday.
We now have one space left to run in the Bristol Half Marathon on September 6th – contact me for more details.
