In the last few weeks, I've been ramping up the running, and I'm aiming to do about 3 serious runs a week between now and the run. If all goes to plan, that will be about 350-odd training miles, and should put me in a fairly decent state to get round the course without dying. Maybe.
Along the way, being the techy-geek that I am, I'm going to keep track of the distances I've done, what kind of training I'm doing, and pretty graphs of how close to a coronary I'm getting.
To kick off, I went for my first ever run with the Manchester YMCA Harriers this evening, which you can see graphs of here.
In the cold and the dark and the rain, we ran down a hill very slowly, then back up again very very quickly. Six times. Apparently this is good for me.
I'm feeling exhausted but good, though already sore - I can tell it's gonna be worse tomorrow. Luckily, I've a few days off to recover, until Sunday when I'm heading off with them for another 10-12 miles or so. Why am I doing this again?
