I'm trying really hard not to let the festive season get in the way of my training, but I'm struggling. I managed a run and a swim last week and I've just realised that tonight's club run is a no-goer due to another Christmas party! The weekend was a write-off due to having to go to a wedding in Somerset (which was splendid by the way). Oh well! I will doing my traditional Christmas morning run though, come hell or high water.
I will be running tomorrow night and Wednesday night, but I think that will be it.
Very down about England handing over the Ashes to the Aussies this morning. I guess it was on the cards and they were the better team , with some awesome performances from the likes of Ponting, Gilchrist, Clark, Warney and old Glen McGrath. England did impress on the odd occasion (KP, Monty, Colly), but it was same old same old and they never put proper pressure on Australia when it mattered (the batting reply in Perth anyone?). I doff my cap to the Baggies, but we'll have that urn back next time! Just get rid of Geraint Jones. Please?
OK - back to more important things now. The plans for the blog are fairly open ended but my goals are to produce one 'article' a week and a number of training updates. I will also post any results/photos from races that I have done. The articles will focus on the following (they may change however):
Nutrition - simple guidelines on eating to train properly
Motivation for training
Training in the winter - do's and don'ts
Training with a heart rate monitor
Coping with injury
Getting the right kit
Racing - finding your distance and training for it
Speed work for the beginner
Cross-training
Race preperation
A London Marathon 'special'
These will be written with winter training in mind and a new set will be developed as the racing 'season' kicks off and the sun starts to warm our bones (god, I CANNOT wait). Also, if you have any recommendations or requests for articles, feel free to comment below.
