Just seen the new year update Doobs.
I started the year weighing 15st 2lb, having put on near 5kg over the Xmas period
Plan is to get down to around 13st 7lb
Currently training for 2 half marathons in March, longest run so far 8.3 miles
How are you doing on this? Think a half marathon is beyond me. Maybe 10k is feasible in a few months?
One of my friends is doing a full marathon and was up to 19 miles in the rain. Can't imagine doing that. Think this is why I am struggling with running. I don't mind running when it is spitting, but no interest in spending 3 hours outside when it is chucking it down!
Just seen this Doobs. Got upto 13 miles 5 weeks ago, then did 14 miles, 10 days ago.
I'm just a slow plodder, too old and too many injuries to run quick anymore. I also avoid running in the rain if I can. It's always heavy rain atm and takes days to dry the shoes out.
Did a proper half marathon on Sunday. Brutal hill between mile 2 and 3. The steep downhill was hard on the quads and feet.
Sore feet from mile 8 slowed me up. In my traing runs my last 3 miles are always the quickest. Finished in 2hr 21 mins
