I must be the most erratic blogger on the planet.  I am not a natural wordsmith which results in a lack of inclination to blog.  I will try and keep up some consistency this year (I hasten to add this not a New Years resolution).  I am looking to post at least once every two weeks, if not more often.

The blog is to keep me running and honest and as much as anything else.

So this is the start of the next Spring Marathon campaign.  Will be looking at consistent mileage with at least one and hopefully two quality sessions during the week.  I notice that in the past my mileage, although at a reasonable level, has been somewhat erratic. I will endeavour to make sure that I am more consistent this time around.

Having run a 2:38 marathon at Edinburgh in 2014 I am really keen to get as close to 2:30 as possible. The first shot will be at VLM, but failing that the second attempt will be at Berlin later in the year.

I do feel that I am still recovering from my Gilmores Groin operation, as I still feel tender in places where I should not after a long run.  I sincerely hope this starts to rectify itself soon as it is almost four months since the operation.

Finally I should make no bones that I have stolen both training and blogging ideas from Jason Cherriman and Steve Way - hope they do not mind.
