Well today i officially decided I was going to do the 2012 Edinburgh marathon. I did the Edinburgh marathon in 2009 and although I managed it in just over 4 hrs, I was alittle disappointed in the time as I had hoped to break 4 hrs. I had foolowed a Runners World guide with this in mind but I did a few things wrong and have wanted to right these.
So today, out I went and started off with a 3.7 ml run which took me 33 mins. Not the fastest or the furthest but I have let my running go recently so I'm starting, not exactly from scratch but nearly. In my defence all the routes I do are particularly hilly, which will make the times slower than running on the flat but benefit me more in the long run. There, got my excuses in early.
Its my intention to try and keep a regular blog mostly so I can track my own thought processes throughout but it might benefit some other people too. I have also started pretty early with the training. last time I crammed the training into 5 months but I was at a higher level when I started so i figure I need and will benefit from the extra time.
