2014 Virgin London Marathon

<< < (5/8) > >>

TGBane:
Currently up in sunny Aberdeen.
Had arranged a local membership for PureGym only to end up with digs 25miles away.
I did managed to get super lucky though and have managed to find a gym 1 mile away.
I hit the gym tues and managed an hr and 6 miles, I think I am going to stick to hrs now and try to slowly up my speed during the week.
Tonight again it was an hr and 6 miles.
Actually feel quite good.
My diet has taken a bit of a battering with no cooking facilities in the digs so hard to control my calorie intake but with it being sooooooo cold and increasing my length of run I am hoping I have still managed to lose something.

CW86:
Keep it going mate, great efforts so far

TGBane:
Thank you Chris

TGBane:
I made a small mistake on my last post and am in fact still at 15st 8lbs.
Made it to the gym last night for a 6 mile run, currently at 6mph so an hr.
Am wanting to raise the speed a little bit but not been feeling great of late.
I had a 15min wait for a treadmill as there are only 3 in the gym.
I made it to 5.3miles and then the treadmill switched off and stopped, jarring my knee in the process, I jumped onto a free one next to me to continue but my knee did not want to so I had a longer warm down.
When I got off a lady asked if I was knackered after running for that long, apart from my legs I feel fine, in fact I felt great.
Tonight I went again and again had to wait, looked like 20mins but luckily someone stopped early so only 10.
I completed the hr long 6 miles and again felt great bar both knees a little sore.
Home tomorrow after 12 days away, really looking forward to seeing my girls.
Friday is another 5k pb attempt, I WILL DO IT!
Thank you for following me.

TGBane:
Had a pretty incredible weekend.
Friday 13th marked 13years with my beautiful wife (so she tells me).
So I made the 5k attempt on Saturday, smashed my old pb by over 2m30s and completed it in 25m59s
Today I flew back up to Aberdeen for the week.
Sunday is long run day so dreading 10miles on a treadmill but I completed it in 1hr40mins.
Knees are sore as hell, hoping they clear ready for work tomorrow.
Still a very very long way to go but 18 weeks to get there.
