Marathon Training – Week 2

Posted on by

This week I have run 11.54 miles. I seem to have a happy limit of about 3 miles at the moment, after that it hurts! I did get some new running shorts this week (Skins A400 three quarter length) and they seem to work quite well. I'm hoping to get myself a road bike, well a flat barred one anyway, so that I can start cross training. Anyway I ran a total of 11.54 miles this week which is more than last week, but I am feeling it this week. Hopefully I haven't done too much too soon, as seems to be my way, I suppose I'll find out later today when I head out for a 3 miler. 

This weeks runs

1. Monday – 2.67 miles

2. Tuesday – 3.05 miles

3. Thursday – 3.14 miles

4. Thursday – 0.93 miles (Testing new shorts!)

5. Sunday – 1.75 miles (It was raining and I couldn't find my GPS so this was a fast one!)

Currently I weigh 14 stone 10 pounds which given my height of 5'9'' gives me a BMI of 30.42 which means I am still obese (but only just).

Marathon Training – Week 1

Posted on by

This week I have run 8.31 miles over 4 runs. I'm fairly pleased with my progress as I hadn't intended to go over 2 miles for the first couple of weeks but was feeling good on Sunday when I got a mile from home so decided to go a little further. I thoroughly expected to be broken when I stopped but seem to be fine. Assuming this baby doesn't arrive next week I'll be aiming to do 3(ish) miles 4 times.

This weeks runs

1. Tuesday – 1.45 miles

2. Wednesday – 2.37 miles

3. Friday – 1.6 miles

4. Sunday – 2.89 miles

… more than it should be and I will be posting it here every week or so as an incentive to keep training and hopefully loose some (or lots if the NHS is to be believed) weight. I am training for the Great North Run in September 2011 and hopefully the London Marathon in April 2012 although I haven't got a confirmed place in the London Marathon yet. 

Currently I weigh 14 stone 12.25 pounds which given my height of 5'9'' gives me a BMI of 30.75 which means I am obese (but only just).

According to the BMI thing my BMI should be between 18.5 and 24.9 meaning I should roughly weigh between 8 stone 13.25 pounds and 12 stone 0.75 pounds. So my 'ideal weight' is the middle of that range which is 10 stone 7.25 pounds. This means to hit my 'ideal weight' I need to loose 4 stone 5 pounds. So there is a goal for me! 

I am using 'Map My Fitness' to record my training if you are at all interested you can see my profile here but you'll have to sign up and add me as a friend to see anything useful.
