Training run
Hello all thought I would try this blog thing out just so people know a bit of background about me etc I'm darrens bro and got into running when I came down to london to watch Darren in the royal parks half 2 or 3 years ago from that moment I decided I thought I could give it a go since then I ran the sports releif 6 miles, the evesham 10k and have now moved onto half marathons I have no intentions on moving up to the full marathon I'm just happy with the level I'm at. I have so far done 2 halts my first was Bristol in 2010 which I completed in 2 hours 7 mins and then my 2nd was last month at the bath half, which was quoted as pancake flat ye ok that was a complete lie, I did get a new pb of 2 hours and 5. I am now in training for Tewkesbury half on the 22nd may before obviously the main event of the royal parks. Training is going really well so far last week I did a 5 and half mile run on Tuesday and a 4.8 on Thursday aswel as my 2 games of football a week. This week on Tuesday I again did my 4.8 mile route which is 50% road running followed by 50% cross country and managed this in a really good time of 42 mins so was really pleased with that. Today was the big one though I managed a 6 mile hill run up Bredon hill which is not easy at all and completed this in 1 hour 4 mins there was quite a few walking moments on the steep incline. Any way I am going to stop rambling on and will keep you up to date with how things are going hope everyone is getting some training inane good luck all.

Bredon Hill - that's very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteFor those reading this blog Adrian is the athletic one in the family! My half marathons are considerably slower and much more painful!!!
I wouldn't say that much more painful I have at least a week after the run that I can hardly walk
