20th – 26th				A good week, capped off with a good 7.5 mile run – felt strong

Overall an OK week – need to get another run in midweek – Thinking of a hill session on Wednesdays or a long ish run with hills involved. That will give me 4 runs a week, 2 to 3 bike sessions, need to use the stepper more, squats every day, try to add a set of 50 every 2^nd week. Weights, arms, shoulders, back and used for squatting.

Nick, the person running the marathon with me has also filled in a training diary, see below.
