1Best Marathon Time:
5hrs 7mins 1sec2004 Target Time:
My target is to get to the start line injury free, and to complete the marathon before everyone leaves the pub!Training Schedule:
As I was late starting training, I am building up miles slowly, not necessarily following any schedule. It's important to me that I complete the marathon rather than a faster time.Hints & Tips:
Make sure you eat properly, get plenty of sleep and keep well hydrated. Listen to your body, rest days are important your body needs to recover from the longer runs.NB: KEEP AWAY FROM ANY PARTY GAMES HOWEVER EASY THEY LOOK!
Other PBs:
A PB for me is when I go out for any run and enjoy it, time isn't important - although if I have enjoyed the run and the time was good that's a bonus!Favourite Distance & Why:
Between 6 and 8 miles, not too far.Best Race & Why:
The marathon. I felt a great sense of achievement; it was something I had done by myself, (with 40,000 plus others).Worst Race & Why:
Can't decide which one, It hurts to think about them!
