Having got my first pair of trainers, I duly completed a 10k race, which felt like a marathon on the day. I have come a long way since and have made the transition from jogging 3 times a week to training 6 days a week. Ive done 5 half marathons, a National Cross country championship and a few 10k's (although I still have a lot of unfinished business with this distance). <br /><br />Im hoping to increase my training volume over the summer and run a very good time at the great north run. After this goals will change but the philosophy is the same, I am looking to get as fast as I can over 10k and half marathon before taking on the challenge that is the Marathon! <br /><br />I am about to embark on a new training schedule that will see me do a programme 17 weeks before the big day. Race plans include 3 10ks, and a few half marathons so far. <br /><br />I race for Central AC in Scotland and Thames Valley Harriers in England.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7496492915766553237-8490511896697375342?l=paceendurance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aloysiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902635097180143329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496492915766553237.post-41936374239240409012010-03-24T06:54:00.000-07:002010-03-24T06:56:34.751-07:00This blog is initaially going to be concerned with my taining for the 2010 great north run.
