Marathon Blog Week 2

Week 2:  11/01/10 - 17/01/10

 

Week 2 of training complete and it is nice to be in the warm writing this after running for close to an hour and a half in the driving rain this morning.

 

Monday would normally be the start of my training week but due to work being really busy I had to shift my training diary back a day. So, Tuesday I was on the treadmill doing 5x400m as quick as possible with a 200m jog as rest in between.

 

Wednesday I did a kettle bell circuit followed by upper body back in the gym.

Thursday afternoon I did 3 sets of 15 of step ups, split squats and calf raises followed by a 5 mile run outdoors. I was a bit disappointed with my time for this as I felt good whilst running and it felt a lot quicker than it actually was.

 

Friday was back in the gym for upper body chest before doing a 10 mile run on Saturday. Once again this was a pretty slow run but the driving rain and steep hills around Ware and Hertford didn’t help matters.

 

Tomorrow again is my day of rest but I am looking forward to pushing the mileage up again next week with a view to racing in a half marathon at the end of the month.

Over and out until next week……..
