Marathon training week one
Here we go then, first week first day. This week is actually well below
what I normally do so I'm torn between the two camps of "training plans should be adjusted to suit you" and "take it slow now, you'll need the energy later".... Can't quite decide which way to go. Week Beginning 1 January Mon 3M (miles) (approx 30 mins) slow Tue Rest Wed 4M (approx 40 mins) slow Thu 2M (approx 18 mins) steady Fri Rest Sat 7M (approx 72 mins) slow Sun 3M (approx 30 mins) easy I'm not sure I can stick to this - it doesn't seem worth getting changed for 2 miles! -- Rachael 176/116/119 www.justgiving.com/rachaelslondonmarathon |

I run 5 days a week as well, my longest run being 6 miles. Have you been running for a while? As I remember, you have. At 7 miles, you're not just starting out, I wouldn't think. Good luck, thanks for the progress report. Here's my last week: Week 11: Mon: DNR Tues: 2 miles - hill work Wed: 2.5 miles Thurs: 2 miles mid-tempo Fri: DNR Sat: 2 miles Sun: 6 miles |

I've been running for a touch over 2 years now. Started with the usual charge out of the door followed by collapse 3 minutes later! My mileage is usually 30-40 miles per week so the start is a bit low. I think I might just stick to what I know this week and start properly next weeks when they add the speedwork. -- Rachael 176/116/119 www.justgiving.com/rachaelslondonmarathon |

Very wise of you, Rachel. You can always increase as you go along. I had been running for a while and had to stop after a skiing accident last march. It took a while to get off my fat ass to start running again. And I've forgotten how meaningful it is to me. It isn't always fun, it's certainly not easy, but so worth all the effort!!! I'm planning on running the Sacramento Int'l Marathon next December. I can't wait to hear more of your progress! |

Any goal is nice, and this seems like a better goal than the one in the book I just read, "Julie & Julia" where a woman set out to cook all the recipes in Julia child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". :-) D. |
