Week 1

I'm treating this week as week 1 of proper training. With 31 weeks to go I feel I have a decent base to work on. This week has been very good actually. Despite the hard 8m on Sunday I have been really comfortable doing 3 and 4 mile runs this week. Sub 150bpm avg heart rate albeit at sub-marathon pace. This pace is good though - right in my aerobic training zone.

According to Hal Higdon's novice supreme schedule, I am little way ahead of schedule. This is okay though. I aim to be back on schedule 20 weeks in and to ramp up slowly being fit and strong for for Wokingham half in Feb which should actually be an easy run by then (!).

So, 10m on Saturday - easy pace again and I'm starting at The Park Club in East Acton next week.
