... When I don't update it for ages. This'll change as I want to keep it up to date.
So, let's start at the end. It's been a wonderful year not only because of my daughter (which is by far the best thing ever) but fitness wise I'm the best shape I've ever been in.
PBs in 5km, 10km and half marathon is pre than I could have wished for with limited training time. Yep, smart training really works.
So on to next year. With the help of Coach Kev, the 2012 plan is to get down to 2hr25 for Olympic Distance. I'm planning on three races with only Windsor booked at the moment. Possibly Bournemouth and Hever Castle being the other two.
Key to this is improving my swimming. I reckon I'm 7-8 minutes down on my 1500m time from where I need to be. It's a huge ask so will chip away at it over the next few years in my 5 years GB AG challenge.
Nothing but base training booked for the next few months. I am booked into Brighton Marathon on April 15th which I will train for but is not a key race. Try telling that to my Father In Law who I'll be running it with. I'll not let him
down.
I'm also progressing my coaching qualifications with my Level 2 running course in January. So I hope to do more to assist people wanting to run especially those new in to running.
Right, blog's back up and running, please subscribe and I'll post more very soon.
