First of many many many posts. The training starts



So. Here we go. The start of 2 years and 2 weeks of training before the big day, or should I say, big 7 days. My training started on Monday which was fantastic because Monday is always a 'Rest' day so it wasn't too tough! This week hasn't been too tough, just three 6 mile runs and a touch of cross training. I'm slowly easing myself in since my race in Phuket 6 Months ago.

Races to date? Not many. I ran the 2009 London Marathon, a handful of Reading Half marathons, a few 10K's and the Phuket Half marathon (at 4am!) 6 months ago. My race portfolio should take a jump over the next year as I concentrate on perfecting my marathon distance ready for Ultra-marathon training in 2011/12.

I'm off for the Saturday 6 miler. Shame it's raining...
