Now it really has been a while!

As the title says, it's been ages since I last posted!
That doesn't mean to say I haven't done anything - I've done plenty, just not intense 6 days a week.
And to be honest, I've missed the aches and the pains, so time to get back in the proverbial saddle!

I really miss those 15+ long runs at a weekend! I don't know many people who can do those sort of miles, so back to it!

The plan (ish)

Monday night - run, fells while the light good minimum 6 miles
Tuesday night - badminton, I'll use this as a tempo speed session
Wednesday - run, same as Monday
Thursday - badminton, I'll use this as a tempo speed session
Friday - run - road / trail session
Saturday / Sunday a long run on the fells and if time another run too!

Running alongside these sessions I will incorporate body weight exercises, core sessions, heavy punch bag work, stepper etc.

I do like body weight sessions. Last year I was doing 1000 squats in a session, 10 x 100

I've recently discovered the  map my run app so will be experimenting with that compared to my garmin watch.

Anyway all this will kick off this weekend.
I plan on getting up to 50+ miles a week by October 1/2 term.

As with most plans I do think you need a goal to aim for - I'll be putting a few hours thinking time into that one.
After running the Coniston Marathon last year I do fancy something similar or maybe longer to aim for, Haworth Hobbles 33 miles? Who knows ... Yet!

So there we have it - time to put some serious running sessions in again!
