I have been debating this in the two weeks since the marathon. Two weeks - it seems like much longer ago, only the blisters hanging in there seem to remind me it was so recent.
Anyway - this blog was to see me on my journey to the marathon and I have done that now - so do I still need a blog? You will notice I had to put a subtitle to this blog as someone else had already nabbed Adverse Camber on its own. I don't like the subtitle, 'from fat to fit' but if I am being honest I have not achieved that yet. I am still overweight and I really am not very fit at all. So, perhaps this blog should continue to drive me towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle?
Today was my third run since the VLM. I have a 5k in three weeks and a 10k in ten so I need to get back into training if I want to improve on my pitiful times. Ages ago I downloaded the MiCoach app to my iphone and yesterday I did the assessment workout and today set to work on a traning program I tailored to my requirements on line. I had what can only be described as my first ever fartlek session - eek! It was very much like going back to basics, walking interspersed with hard running sections. It wasn't easy and I was very glad when it was over, but it made me realise how I have been very much running in my comfort zone. The two MiCoach workouts have made me sweat and get breathless, which I guess can only be a good thing on the path to a fitter life?
I hope no one buys doughnuts for the staffroom tomorrow.
