Well it didn’t take long for me to fall behind in my blogs. It has been a hectic week at work and I have been sick with a stubborn cough. Had the weekend off so missed my long runs, which is disappointing. Ran well today and ready to get back into it.
A weekly account of what i will be going through for my first marathon. Can i do it?

Running in Canberra
Not a bad first week, feel fit and ready for next week. Still having trouble sorting out my social life and fitting in training, especially when we are out of town or having people visit us. This week my training days altered a lot and I feel the same will happen next week when Becs parents come to Melbourne for a visit. I enjoyed running in Canberra especially with Bec on Saturday. It was nice to run with someone and enjoy it as well. Looking forward to the weeks ahead.

What my first week looks like? Easy?
My suggested timetable for week 1.
Session Day and Location Outline
Steady | Suggested Tuesday | 35-40min at steady pace |
Intervals | Thursday | 6-8 X 400m repeats with a break in between |
Tempo | Saturday | 30min. Building to hard for last 15min |
Long Run | Sunday | 60min over flat |
It looks pretty easy after what I have been doing over the last couple of weeks. I am glad it is easy training to start off as I am going to be busy this week. On Tuesday I have the socceroos match at 7pm so I might have to run early in the morning. Depending on the weather I might try and tackle that run outside. It is starting to get really cold in the morning here in Melbourne so will have to decide on the day. Thursdays run will be hard to do as we are off to Canberra that night, which I am looking forward to. Looks like some early morning running for me this week. It will be good however to run around the lake in Canberra on Saturday and Sunday. (cold there again but have done it before) I might see if I can get Bec out for an early run.

Not Happy
Two running sessions completed over the last two days. Legs are not feeling the best still, after the long run on Monday. I am a little angry with myself as I stop short of my goal today of running 45mins. I was hurting in the legs and made the excuse of stopping so I don’t injury myself, ended up completing 30mins. Don’t know if this was a good idea or not. I did some leg weights to compensate. I plan to have Friday off and start official training on Saturday. By then I have think my legs will feel better.
