Getting there...

So now my training schedule defines an 8 mile run as an "Easy Run".

Well, not quite there yet. After going through another bout of sensational procrastination, I managed to drag my lazy posterior outside and trawl along the Thames in 1h15mins, keeping the pace below 9m30s mile.

Whilst the distance is still a novelty to me, I know I can run faster than this, so the next weeks will see if I can sustain the 9m flat pace on runs longer than 3-4 miles.

To break 2 hours for the 13 miles I need to run faster than 9.09 per mile, so I clearly have some work still to do.

So far in August: 43km.
Target: 60+

Weight: threatening to drop below 15 stone.
