Well nothing major to report from last week apart from the fact that i got a 12.6 mile training run in, which was good for experience and endurance.
This week i have managed a personal best on my distance, i have managed a 14 mile run my longest yet.
I don't think i will be running any further than that in the future, as i only need to do 13.1miles in the GNR, and quite frankly i think that is my limit.My knees cannot take more than 13 miles of pavement bashing on a regular basis.
I managed to do just under 2 hrs which is a typical milestone for new runners.I'm not sure if i'll manage it on the big day, as i plan to have a 5 min rest for a snack and a drink half way round to increase my chances of a more comfortable second half of the run.
Sponsorship is going well,i have managed to reach my minimum of £350 and have raised the bar to £400 for my next target.
Good news on the transport front as well,it looks like i may be getting a lift so that will save me £70+ on a train ticket :)
Just under 4 weeks to go now,this is the period were i try and take it easy to prevent injury, and stick to short runs i think,because the first 10K seems to be the hardest, and i need to feel more comfoortable in the first section of the race.
Bye for now.
Les.
