Well today i started full on training again for my autumn marathon (Furzton Lake - Milton Keynes). My actual 12 week training plan doesn't start till next week on Tuesday, but as i think i need to be a bit fitter i thought i may as well start early.
Anyway, this morning i did a steady 8m with 10 lots of 100m sprints to get things moving (5am start so nice and cool). I also cycled the 10m to work as we now have a shower there.
I aim to hit the elusive 3:15 at Furzton so i am using a plan based on 7 min mileing in order to get fitter than i need to. I know its not really the way to do it, but then my mind does not work the other way and i need to push myself all the time. I will probably burn out - and if i do i will rest.
