03.09.09London’s not happening for me
London Marathon 2009 (0)I relunctanly sent a letter last to week to pull out of the London Marathon.  Although my foot is much improved and I have been able to start running again, it is too late now to train to London.  i was up to 14 miles on a long run when the injury happened and I should be at 20-22 miles at least now on a long run. X-Ray's showed nothing so all I can assume is that it was an overuse injury.  I've had ultrasound on it from the physio and all seems well.  Did a 4 mile run on sunday ...

02.18.09Maintaining fitness with an injury
London Marathon 2009 (0)In my previous post i mentioned that i had picked up an injury, an inflamed cuboid bone.  So close to London this has really put my training plan on hold.  I tried to run on a treadmill yesterday as it felt better but it started to hurt a little bit after 2 miles so I stopped. I went out on Saturday on my bike and did 30 miles.  Cycling doesn't hurt.  I've also been going like a mad man on the cross trainer and doing a lot of core stability excercise to try and correct the over pronation that seems to ...

02.10.09Marathon training has fallen off the rails
London Marathon 2009 (0)With London only a few weeks away, I went out on Sunday night to do 14 miles and it all went wrong.  I think having been laid off in December with Colds and Flu, I felt that I needed to play catchup but there are no shortcuts in marathon training.  I've been doing fast 3 and 4 mile threshold runs on the treadmill to try and raise my fitness and then done longer runs at the weekend.  I think this had put too much pressure on my aching body. I now have an inflamed Cuboid bone in my foot and cannot ...

01.18.09Did a PB today in the Shell Four Villages Half Marathon
London Marathon 2009 (0)I am so pleased.  Considering I have only just got back into the training after every cold known to man I managed to do 1.39 in the Shell Four Villages Half Marathon today.  With London only 13 weeks away this was a great confidence boost.  The best I have ever done is 1.42 in the first half of the Anglesey Marathon. I've got a great 14 week plan from Full Potential (www.fullpotential.co.uk) which I am following for London as I as hoping to get a 3.30. Onwards and upwards....

12.03.08Back in training just about for London 2009
London Marathon 2009 (0)I held off a cold until the New York Marathon and suffered the consequences afterwards.  The day after the race the cold came out in all it's glory and my training dropped to virtually nothing for a couple of weeks.  I've started running again by not any distance.  Fast 5k runs are ok and some 10k runs but I haven't ventured further than that yet.  I've also done a bit of gym work and ventured onto the rowing machine. I need to brave the elements and get back up to 25 to 30 miles a week as a base for London ...
