It is thirteen months since I wrote anything here. I have had a bad year running wise. There have been no races to speak of in Germany and I struggled with consistency.
I enjoyed myself crewing for Fabio in Spartathlon and combined that with a visit to the lion's gate in Mycenae and the Acropolis Museum.
I rounded the year off with a Marcothon. Five kilometres a day, every day. I have also built up to doing a five minute plank and 100 press ups a day.. So that is an improvement on consistency.
In January, I will be upping that to include some intervals, hill work, Cooper tests, 12kms and longer runs. I have create January's plan already.
I am finally going to bite the bullet and fast for January to fix my weight. Then in February start back on a vegetarian diet until my birthday in March.
At the end of January I will run in the Rodgau 50km, which will be my first race in far too long. I hope to do sub six hours. If that goes as planned I am going to try the Sparta city race in February.
Then there is the TorTourdeRuhr in June.
Wish me luck
