Training Week 2 (Sunday 16th January)

My second week of training is complete. A bit more relaxed that the first week. On Monday I did 1 hr weights, Tuesday rest, Wednesday 6 mile jog cross-country, Thursday 1½ exercise and weights, Friday rest, Saturday 3 hr walk, and Sunday 12 mile jog and ½ hr weights. It’s my first long-run of the new year. The pace was slow (9 min miles). By the end of the month I should be set to do an 18 mile jog, and after that I’ll slowly pick up the pace for each long-run. In the week ahead I hope to increase my mileage by another few miles, and at the start of February I’ll begin my speed work.
