First Marathon 2009 Tokyo.  3/04.38 (my watch).Official 3:07:21

2nd Marathon Ehime Japan Jan 2010 Official 2h 59.00

Training half marathon time 1:23 (2009) Training

Race: 1:24:30 2009) PB 1:18:50 (2001)

Recent 10k time. 38:52 November 2009

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.

Yanbo Summer run.  Very very hot  35c    Crawled around.  Horrible but at least it was some mileage in the bag with some runners.

Easy run at night, nearly twisted my foot though owing to poor visibility.  Lesson learnt there, keep off the pavement when it gets dark or face an easily avoided sprain.

Nice run, wind assited at times but a good solid quick pace and although I worked hard I was very pleased with this one. Not a season best but a great effort for this time of year.

4 laps of Ushita River (Small lap  2 miles) at night 7pm. Very dark but nice and cool, felt brilliant, just cruised around although there was a very strong wind on one straight as usual. Nice run, must have been inspired by the World Championships. Felt easy.
