I think you can get the feel for how this blog is proceeding. It's about the experience of running. There won't be a great deal about the minutiae of training. If you want to read about lactic acid thresholds, go to a professional. I'll report on my training of course. My training runs will always be on my Strava page but for the purposes of the blog. I'll put together a weekly report.
Starting Now.
Mon. Jun 26th - Sun. Jul. 2nd
Monday. I'm easing into the Best Athletics Sub 4 training plan ready for the Twin Cities Marathon. (My third TCM). The first workout was a strength and conditioning workout that worked me quite hard. Never having done an S&C workout before, I was quite surprised.
In the afternoon, I went over to a local TCRunning store to try out for a pair of supershoes. That painful experience was also documented on the blog.
Tuesday. My bruised backside from falling on the dreadmill is very, very sore, and my scabbed over knee doesn't like to flex much. A comfy chair was the place to be today, and I did some work on one of my other hobbies Model Railways.
Wednesday. Less sore than the previous day, I set out on a very easy 5 mile run. It wasn't too painful.

Thursday. Back at the gym for another S&C workout. Those exercises that involved me flexing my scabby left knee were a tad uncomfortable. The workout worked me harder than on Monday. Which must be good.
Saturday. PARKRUN! Saturdays are parkrun day. If you’re a runner and you haven’t tried parkrun and you happen to have one close to you. I urge you to sign up and take part.
Sunday. This longer run was probably a mistake after the flat out exertion of yesterdays parkrun and the heat this morning. But you can always take something from a run. There were five very good, strong miles in there. All I have to do is build up the strength and endurance to add 21 more by Grandma’s next year.
