Hello Mothers Day Classic friends - hope you will be joining me on Sunday 8 May - this is really exciting since I've never done a blog before and have no idea what to write about!
It's never too early to start training: I went for a couple of jogs the weekend before last: 4km in 17min and 8km in 42min. Then on Sunday I ran 8km again and got down to 39min - and I want to go faster again next time!
Trying to beat your PB is one of the joys of running - another is running with friends, please follow my blog so that we can turn it into a virtual running group - then we can organise training runs =)
A bit of background about me: I've always loved being outdoors and active, and got into running five years ago when a colleague dragged me along to a fun run. Did my first marathon later that year and now I'm up to 16! My target is 50 - haha still a very long way to go
I'm doing a couple of ultramarathons (48-50km) in April followed by a couple of shorter events (13-15km) in the final weeks leading up - so will need to add some faster short runs in as part of training
Then Mothers Day Classic is the BIG ONE and my goal is to break 32min - 4 minute splits!
Please send in your comments: questions, goals, trashtalk haha - I'd love to hear about other people's stories and make this blog as interactive as possible
So find a friend, work out a plan together, then get out there and enjoy the challenge - and more importantly follow me here on Blogger and send in your comments!!
Ciao Damien
So have you ever tried FARTLEK training? I want to know if it is any good as I too am training for some distance events... the name FARTLEK makes me giggle every time I say it though!
