Not renowned as a blogger this blog is to chart my running as I progress to my 5th decade.
My intention is to summarise my training each week and to provide both highlights and lowlights.
The objective is to be in the top 10 for v50 in 2014.
A number of key races on that journey have been entered
1. The Essex 20 - I love this race, although last year did not go to plan. Objective is for sub 2:01
2. Brentwood Half Marathon - starts and finishes by my front door. Be rude not to run it. Aim to get under 75 minutes again
3. Essex Road Relays - run for the team, hope to get under 20 mins.
4. Braintree 5 - Another enjoyable run on the race calendar.
5. Greater Manchester Marathon - shan't be racing this as am 3:15 pacer. Treat as long training run.
6. Virgin London Marathon - Another chance to run of the championship start. Not racing this year as not target marathon, will be a training run. Objective first 20 miles at 7mm last 6 mules at 6:10mm
7. Halstead Marathon - club has entered me so will take the opportunity to run. This a tough marathon with a fair few hills. I will look to run at around 6:50s and get just under 3, should mean a county medal.
8. Edinburgh - This is the target marathon - overriding objective is sub 2:40
There will be other races, but this takes me up to May.
