I am serious about running the marathon, so I have checked out a couple of training programmes. Both of them are sixteen weeks long. I took a couple of weeks off, both sensible eating and running, for Christmas and my sixteen weeks starts on Monday. Hence the title.
I've chosen to follow "The Non Runner's Marathon Guide" based on a college course which takes students from absolute beginner to marathon finisher. The only stipulation is that you be able to run for a full half hour a few times a week and that you do that for two weeks before the sixteen start. This week I've done three miles on three occasions so far. I hope to get out once more before Monday.
In a change ot tact, I have run on a couple of evenings after work. Since I seem to have a bit of a problem getting myself out of bed some, I mean a lot, of mornings, evenings may be the only way to go. I hate that there are loads of people about to see me, especially as I am so fat again, but needs must. I'm sure I'll toughen up to the idea as I get used to it. It really hasn't been too bad so far. When I get to having to do longer runs, early morning might not be the best option anyway. Runs are going to be longer and more tiring. I fell asleep briefly on the train to work this morning as it was, after only 5k!
