#purbeckmarathon

Been quiet for the past couple of weeks. Processing the news from doctors I shouldn’t really run the #purbeckmarathon in September. They didn’t say I couldn’t, just I shouldn’t. I haven’t run, but had a couple of bike rides, an hour of football & lots of walking over the past fortnight. This afternoon I was at @myantidotemassage great session & best views almost anywhere in #poole Really should be a regular thing, but time & money as with most things cause the issue. I will run this week. But might wait a little longer until I decide what to do in regards to marathon. After the 15 long run I’m confident I can run walk it comfortably with in the time limit. I’m thinking that might be the best way to go. The other option is to ask to drop down to the half, this Sunday is the lytchett 10, so that will be a good test of where I am & if this little break has done me good or ruined my training block! Starting a new gym on Friday, that should be good & hopefully help with dropping some timber. #runner #funk #lonelygoatrunningclub #ukrunchat #plansmightbechanging #weightlossjourney #marathontraining #massage #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #newgym (at Ashley Cross, Lower Parkstone, Poole.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpM5RFoQWy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Marathon plan finally finished, even though over halfway through second week! Not great at following plans, specially generic online ones. I know what is best for me & need to balance rest days & my usual run days. Sharing so I’m accountable, a bit more pressure to stick to it now everyone knows. I’ll share regularly so it will be evident if I’m slacking. I need some sort of plan to in sure I do speed endurance & hill work etc. Also a gentle build up to 20 miles. I want to get to race day feeling confident. Purbeck is a tough race if I’m not prepared it will be a very painful day. Need to fine a gym class for Wednesday core. Not great with the home workout. Only needs to be 25 minutes, but two weeks in & not done one yet. Might add in another race, looking at the stur half & I’m sure boxing will be off at least one if not twice so a couple of parkruns could go on there too. #runner #runnersofinstagram #lonelygoatrunningclub #marathontraining #marathonplan #trainingplan #ukrunchat #purbeckmarathon #igrunners #failingtoprepareispreparingtofail #runningcommunity #excel #selfaccountability #steppingup #takingitseriously #weightlossjourney #payingthecosttobetheboss #whatiamidoing #ffcbournemouth (at Pool Quay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byrbj_HHcg2/?igshid=4967libaj5om

Just a quick strength & conditioning session before dinner. Felt upping the reps from ten to 15. No skipping this week & a day late because had second jab yesterday morning. Taking it a little easy & so far not feeling too bad. Second week of marathon training. As last week going to squeeze three runs in to four days Thursday-Sunday. Next week going to spread every little better over the week. Skipped the food truck twice out of three days so far this week so going well on the snack reduction too! #marathontraining #strava #garmin #lonelygoatrunningclub #poole #homeworkout #runner #bodyweightworkout #lonelygoatrc #runnerscommunity #awrunningfitness #weightlossjourney #purbeckmarathon #ukrunchat #runnernotrunning #instafitness (at Sea-View Viewpoint) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6Mwa1Hqie/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not what I had planned as usual. But I got out & did it, eventually. The plan was 4 mile progressive run, I set the #garmin up, 5 min warm up, m1 13mins, m2 12:30, m3 12, m3 11:30, then 5mins cool down. It just didn’t happen like that. Firstly I didn’t get out of work until late & really wasn’t feeling it. I thought a flattish run around holes bay would be ideal. On the drive home I realised I had to go & do some thing. Once out I struggled to go slow on the first miles, but pushed through & ran a very slightly quicker second. I tried with the third, but just couldn’t mange it. The final mile was just about getting home. Even the Cool down jog/walk & stretch over ran the scheduled 5 mins! However i didn’t quit, I didn’t just slob out on the sofa! I think this second jab as affected me more than I realised too. But I have a 10km to look forward to & tonight (meat free) sausage, egg & chips! #runner #running #lonelygoatrunningclub #run #rebel #weightlossjourney #marathontraining #rundorset #poole #ukrunchat #strava #workoutsnap #beardedrunner #runningcommunity #instarun #runstagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #newbalance #nstarunning #lonelygoatrc #awrunningfitness #purbeckmarathon (at Sea-View Viewpoint) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP87ixxnF0B/?utm_medium=tumblr

First run of the week & first run of the marathon plan. Been a busy one, I didn’t my safeguarding course last night. Hopefully better prepared for rugby coaching next season. The plan was gentle/relaxed run with warm up & cool down. I struggle with a gentle warm up, usually my first mile is my fastest. I did start slow, went a little faster. However with the hills, everywhere hills & post work & it is hot the pace dropped off again. Got through it, running for time not distance. Stayed disciplined & stretched afterwards. No #thirstythursday as cutting down on the beer for this training block. Not icing up completely of course. End of half term tomorrow & take out treat for the kids. I’ll need a beer to finish that off. Plus long run Saturday morning so no over doing it. #running #run #lonelygoatrunningclub #rebel #runner #instarun #instarunner #runstagram #instarunning #workoutsnap #poole #strava #rundorset #garmin #runstats #lonelygoatrc #beardedrunner #weightlossjourney #marathontraining #ukrunchat #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #newbalance #purbeckmarathon (at Sea-View Viewpoint) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPrAX-NHBNx/?utm_medium=tumblr
