Hi,
As some of you may be aware I will be lugging my rapidly aging frame around the good old streets of London next April 26th in aid of the fine people at CrimeStoppers (don't worry shameless sponsorship details will be forth-coming shortly
).
So my question is, having now taken the plunge and completed the first training plan and am now capable of running 10k (still can't believe I can do it :d ) with stopping, where do I go from here?
I have read a few marathon training plans but they are all around the 18-20 week which means starting sometime December, so what should I be aiming for up to that point as a goal, and consolidating my new found fitness.
I don't want to push on too hard risking injury from over-training and peak too soon (ha ha!!), but then I do want to make sure I am at the best level I can when beginning the actual marathon training.
So what would be a good target to look for and consolidate at pre-December ?
