Week 11 day 6+7

Day 7
With different weekend, finished the week off with a 1 hr boxing circuit class on monday. Usually can't get to this class so interested to try it. Pretty good, but nothing I can't handle. Fair bit of boxing, and arms heavy by the end.

Another week down, one less to go, now 8 weeks and counting.

Achieved my first run greater than 20 miles this week so major achievement.


More than 40 miles run this week, including my 700th of the year, everything going well.

A few aches and pains, left hip and calves a bit tight but hey.. no pain no gain.

Day 6
Marathon Workshop on saturday and working sunday so less time than normal, no circuit class possible.

However managed to get a run in with Mrs FRC later on, a warm up 4 miles, split up then some 1/2 intervals x4, meet up again for 3 miles, then 6 x 1/4 mile intervals.. super fast at the end. Sub 6 minute mile I found later on.

Liverpool Marathon doesn't have any sports drinks -  only water and a gel at 17/18 miles. Picked up some isostar tablets to try with future exercise sessions, replace a sports drink with just 2 tablets. Might work for the marathon. Also some Clif Blok shots... like little hard jellies with decent shot of carbs. More on these in future days.

Will have to talk to you about energy tablets/gels etc. Had a go of a gel yesterday and it was disgusting. Nearly puked!
