Short-Term Running Goals:

Compete in another Half Marathon  and get a decent time - under 1:20 would be great!

Step up to 5 days a week running.


 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running with as little injury as possible and achieve the sub-3 dream (Accomplished!!! 2010). Next dream is to improve my half-marathon and 10km time.


Personal:

I am 40 years old and married with two young children. I have been training on and off for the last 10 years.   I have been training three times a week for the most part but hoping to step that up to 5-times a week and see if I can avoid injuries, although 3 seems to be about as much as I can manage with work and family. 

"Run less, run faster" is my running bible that has helped my do just that. 1 steady, 1 quick and 1 long seems to keep my fast enough for my input.

12 miles easy run. Started at house, down to Newtonbreda and to Shaws bridge where I found a lovely run along the river, almost too good to believe.  Carried on until 6 miles  and turned around.  Finished in 1.50, av. pace 7.45- 50.

First run over ten miles in a while but was very good.

3 x 1 mile intervals  (along river) (6;30 planed pace)

6:21

6;25

6: 31 up hill

Felt good on first 2 but really felt like I was going to die on the third given that it was quite an incline.
