My week so far
By Paul | September 26, 2007
I currently have a crushed heal on my left foot, caused by wearing a pair of trainers that I suspected were faulty after having only ran in them for a short time. Nonetheless I chose to run and paid for the indecision, although to be fair it doesn’t stop me completely.
To compensate I have increased my cycling taking time to ride the 33 miles home. not done every day I might add.
I regularly attend my gym, normally about three times a week again depending on work and family life, but I do take part in the advanced spinning class for an hour, before then hitting the running machine and then weights.
Distance running. I usually use the work run.. not the full 33 thank god, but it depends on how I feel. some days I park my car 15 miles away and cycle in to work, before running back to it at the end of the day.
Swimming. I try to keep up swimming by always doing 2.5miles. which is about 150 lengths with another 10 added making 160 because I always loose count, typical man..
This weeks training so far:
Two occasions at the gym completing the above, and once swimming the 2.5miles. I can not train tomorrow (Thu) due to other commitments,
Friday is a rest day for me from work, so I plan to run a 15 mile route over hilly route locally. this will be followed later in the day with the 2.5 mile swim and a spinning session in the gym.
My next run of note is the Leicester Marathon which I am taking part in to use as distance running, I am not a competitor because I plod, about 4hr 15mins, but it maintains by running level which I am happy with. I train because I like the challenge of doing hard events others don’t and to test my resolve. There would be no point in setting a challenge.. if you knew you could do it….
