Week Nine

 Weight still stuck. Did nearly 70km. Will be  in the flat and can run more and avoid snacks

Week Eight

 Weight is not moving.  Did nearly 60km. Need to build in rest weeks every 4th week and more intense runs.  did a copper test and got 2.55km. Which is good. Monthly total nearly 200km

Week Seven

 Struggling to get out but did 20km  more than last week. Weight still at 81.  Hoping to run more this week. 

 Week Six

Distance down Actual 370km vs target of 440km. I can make most of that up before the month end. 

Weight up 81kg

Depression higher  

Week Five

 Got to that point when after five weeks no noticeable gains are being made & I feel very depressed. I will do a cooper test today and maybe after 5 weeks of no smoking and only drinking once in the past five weeks I will have an improvement on 2.44km

Week Four

Not had any alcohol or nicotine for a month now.  Not really missing it.  Gonna try and drop sugary snacks this month,  biscuits chocolate etc. Weight now under 80kgs.  Not as much as last week but a marathon done.  I noticed that in  doing the longer runs I am feeling better mentally which I put down to using fruit rather than sugary snacks.  a total of 300km of running and 50km  in walking done. 

I want to build on this base in February.  The target is to do do speed work twice a week and drop the weight by another couple  of kilograms.  The fourth week will be  a rest and recovery week.

Week Three

Ran more, 80km in total and a 36km on Sunday. doing more in weighted jacket. Weight starting to drop under 80kg. Planning to do 48 next weekend
