Leaving Glasto behind

Glastonbury is not the ideal training ground for a marathon but you've got to have a life. Question is, how do you make up the lack in running and the excess of pear cider? Well, I'm not going to think about it too hard, I'll just start a proper the next week. I figure that so long as that doesn't become my motto, I'll be ok, I've still got just over 18 weeks left to train.

Back to the training...

Despite coming off the back of a Glastonbury weekend, I have managed to get in 3 runs in the last week, totalling 17k, not ideal, but better than nought.

The general plan for the next few weeks is to chug round my 5k circuit on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and to go for a longer river run at lunchtime on a Wednesday (see left) and an even longer one on Sunday. Sundays are the focus of the training schedule, the time to really start clocking up the miles.
