Slack week

Between work/life madness and a minor tweak of an injury this week was a pretty poor showing all round. I did stop it from being a total washout by getting out for a 1:20 run today which I estimate to have been about 11 or 12 Km. I estimate because the battery ran out on the Forerunner (due to my not having charged it!) and me therefore geting a record of the run ;-(

With 6 weeks of "Prep" stage left before the very structured Base phase starts I think I am going to have to build in some structure to the training and also set myself some short and medium term goals to keep me on track.

Overall long term goal is to get weight down to 80Kg and to do the Marathon in 3:30. As a fallback from this ambitious goal I have 82Kg and a 3:45 marathon. What I also need to do is establish some interim targets to act as milestones in my training.

Overall summary for April looks like 110Km of running and about 12 hours of training. Which is not too bad from nearly a standing start!
