3 Weeks Later

So it's been three weeks since the last post. Since then, I've gone on 7 or 8 runs on Tuesday mornings and some Fridays. The training is going well and just taking it easy for now, preparing for the 17 week training plan I'll start on the Boxing day which I'm really excited for....

Last week I ran my furthest yet; 4.06 miles, yep basically 1/7th of a marathon and I felt like I was running for a decade. I don't particularly enjoy running and don't look forward to it, so not 100% sure why I'm doing this yet. It takes serious effort to get out of bed in the morning and go out when its freezing cold and wind. But the 4 miles went well, and it took the best part of 40 minutes. It felt good to get a personal best and a good bit of motivation to carry on training. It is important to be at 10K by Christmas, and I feel like I can achieve that if I keep training like I do!

Another thing I've been doing is trying out different paces, to see what suits me best. Last Tuesday I ran 3 miles at 9:38 pace which is much faster than usual. It was a struggle to keep it and I feel as if its a bit too fast so I'll stick to the usual. All in all, the training is making steady progress and I'll probably keep it up somehow! Not sure how, but I'll work that part out.

Lastly, the link for my fundraising page is to the left, it would mean a lot if you could donate to help me reach my goal. It goes towards the Willow Foundation Special Days for the seriously ill, and would mean the world even if you could spare £1! Thank you for reading!
