Did you miss the list?
Well here it is, again! Had a morning run. Could have made it 3km but I just thought "mmmm naaah". I had already succeeded in my objective of breaking the ice, this being the first thing faster than a walk I had done in eleven weeks.
So that the blog doesn't get cluttered, I will post each individual score as it happens without recourse to the list. That said, I will post the full list at arbitrary time intervals (perhaps once a month), cause it just looks so neat, and will hopefully show a smooth progression from now until next April, which is when the next Brighton marathon should be.
A friend of a friend of mine recently completed the London Marathon in 3:38 hours. A cousin of a friend of mine finished the Brighton Marathon in a similar time. I am under the impression that both these people took their training pretty seriously. As I too intend to take things fairly seriously I think 4 hours would be a good benchmark for me. Though I've never ran even close to 26.2 miles I shall train with this 4 hour mark figure at the back of my mind. That essentially means 42km ran at 10.5km/hour. Which is a very long way off at the moment.
I expect my next run to be on Thursday morning, and my unambitious aim then will be 3km at a nonstop, leisurely pace.
