Risso Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 15 weeks to go ish until London. Training is going quite well so far, and I'm slightly ahead of where I need to be according to the plan. I'm going to aim for around 4 hours for my first one. Ran for 10 miles on Tuesday night. 10 miles, I couldn't do 100 yards 4 months ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Back to it since Christmas, not training for anything but helping a friend train for stafford half, 6 miles aren't causing my stamina any problems and fatigue in my legs has subsided. The issue I am having is my knee is painful a couple of days after the run so I have to wait for that to recover. Not running now till Monday.

Did 18 split into two runs yesterday, but next week is 18 with 10 at planned marathon pace (6:18 min/mi) which is going to be pretty tough. I am doing a lot more mileage which is making a nice steady weight drop and currently the thinnest I've been since I was about 20. Still hoping to drop another half stone, think I will smash all my PBs at any distance if i can get the weight off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StigVillan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Haven't been running in an absolute age. Probably 7 weeks now... Got to get back into it as my pace will be well off now. It'll only get worse the longer I leave it. Edited January 16, 2016 by StigVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 2nd run back from a 10-12 week layoff last night, and I managed to finish my 5.5km without too many issues, but in 33 minutes or so. I might do some sprint training to get my speed back up and burn some fat. What sort of things do people recommend? I was just thinking of going to a park and picking two spots 50-80m apart and starting each sprint on the minute 20 times or so. Does that sound reasonable?
