The weather is getting much colder, and is set to continue to drop...which isn't a problem for most areas, but certainly the wind and cold air attacks the face pretty badly, which gave me quite the headache tonight whilst running...but looking forward to 6 decent miles tomorrow evening, and then 5 on friday and 1 hour 45 minutes on saturday, hopefully equating to 10 miles in distance.
At this stage of training, after one month from 4, I feel that in terms of endurance and distance I have progressed very well, hitting 20 miles plus each week until week 4, when I took a rest week, with only 15 miles covered.
Speed wise I'm not too confident so far, but plenty of time for that.
Plans for february include -
- 24-30 mile weeks
- Going from 5 to 6 days of running each week
- Completing another ParkRun - improving on previous time
- Covering 13 miles - 2hr15 or 2hr30 run
- INJURY FREE!!
If I can stick to this, it will set me up quite well for the Larne Half in March, and I will begin to see if I can set an achievable target for the Belfast Marathon but....a month is a long time!
As an aside, somewhat off topic, I would like to express my delight at tonight's football results; namely the win of the champions Manchester United, and the defeat suffered by Manchester City - shall run tomorrow with added vigor due to this....
