This blog will track my progress to a fitter and faster me. Over the coming few years my plan is to up my running to where ever I can take it. Hopefully that will include a marathon or two and maybe even an ultra run. I just love the sound of 100km.
Before I start talking of the future I probably need to draw a line sand and call it as it is now.
Today I'm not injured.
Can run 10km of rough trail in 55mins.
Can run 8km on road in 43mins.
Currently training 5/6/7 days a week depending on the week.
Training currently a mix of trail, road, pitch running and also some short cycles of 15, 20 and 30km.
Typical day, run 30-45 mins at lunch. Run 1 hour in the evening plus a 45min cycle.
With the line now laid down, what next???
I've decide to use tried and tested engineering to approach this problem.
- Educate myself and learn what it takes to run distance.
- Apply what I've learned through training.
- Run and test the training in competition.
- Study the results from competition.
This is my "EARS" approach.
So first thing, Educate.
Over the coming weeks and months I'll post what I'm reading and watching, everything and anything. This might end up helping someone and be a useful for myself also.
Anyway it's now started.
