New Shoes!

I splashed out on some new Adidas running shoes yesterday. My circa 10 year old Hi-Tech ones were getting rather worn, and probably weren't helping my muscle pains.

Thursday 15th January:

3 mile route (anti-clockwise) 30:15. Felt a lot better. Actually came back out of breath rather than being worried too much about hamstrings etc.

Having read some more about training and preparation. It is obvious that I have started far too late! So I plan to gradually build up my miles so that I can complete 10 miles at around end of Feb, early March.

This week I will aim to do the 3 mile route every other day, and continue stretching and exercises in between. Making 12 miles for the week. Then increase mileage the following week.

That's the "plan". Let's see if I can stick to it!
