Spoke to Si about being serious about running and the goals I've set myself, 10K in less that 1 hour, half marathon in less than 2 hours and eventually a full marathon in less than 4 hours, I was soooo far away from any of those goals, so we decided that my focus would be Conway half, 2014, to do in 2 hours 15 mins (or less - ha ha)!! Huge goal, huge commitment, Si came up with a training plan which we could move about if we had to - also 4 weeks into the plan (and every 4ish weeks after) would be a rest week!!
Joined the gym and decided Mon, Wed and Fri morning would be gym days, programme from Dewi.
27 April 2014 to 265 May 2014 - Phase 1
Weekend long runs start at 8 miles, no stopping, no walking, no pace though, as slow as it needs to be just to get round.
Tuesday runs to work - intervals, starting off at .15 mile at 3k pace and .15 mile rest x 12. (Run/walk recovery run home)
Thursday runs to work - tempo starting off at 11.00 pace. (Run/walk recovery run home)
Saturday - Hill repeats x 10 seconds, 2 mins rest
I actually surprised myself and Simon and pretty much nailed the first stage, even the long runs, very slow but managing the distance - just!! Even managed to get home from work too!!
Managed the gym ok and quite consistently for the first month.
