There are now only 15 weeks to go until the London Marathon 2013, so serious training starts today.My schedule has been slightly disrupted by illness just before Christmas and just after New Year which messed up over two weeks of training, but I'm hoping that I can pretty much pick up where I expected to be.
So, this week I have about 33 miles scheduled over 5 sessions including running 3 miles in 21 minutes on Wednesday and then hopefully a 13 mile long run on Friday or Saturday.
Also I will be eating no more chocolate, biscuits, or crisps for the next 15 weeks.
Am I nervous? A little. According to my schedule I'll be running about 17 miles in 5 weeks time. Knowing how I felt after 10 miles on Saturday there is always the fear of the constant risk of injury.
Do I have a target - other than just getting round? Yes. Sub 4 hours - ideally 3:45.
Now you know. I'll update you each week on my progress - and if you see me eating chocolate...
