Training Journal: Saturday 14th February 2009

Just a quick run down the lanes today. Nothing special, just a 4 mile run, actually it’s a bit less than 4 miles, probably 3.6 or 3.7 miles. Total time was 34 minutes, though I did have a walk after about 3 miles as I was breathless. I probably walked for about two minutes, so [...]

Sunday - run

First 10 minutes at 10kmh
45 seconds at 15 [...]

Saturday - cardio and abs
Run
Just a quick 25 minutes on the treadmill today, bit of interval training but wasn’t breathing very well. I seem to have developed some severe synus problem which inhibits my breathing through my nose, as such I’m under-performing when doing cardio work as I’m not able to get enough oxygen into [...]


Training Journal: Sunday 18th January 2009

Sunday is a long(ish) run day. I’m not training for a half marathon or anything like that so I’m not out trying to get a specified number of miles done or anything. I treat my sunday run as a nice end to the week, go for a longer run than I would do in the [...]
