No training or running on Monday night and I was just getting over a very bad cold I was glad of the rest. I was happy to be back at Thirsk school training, as I haven’t done much over Christmas, would like to get fit for the London marathon. With no Rob on Wednesday night Sergeant Major Steve Booth took the session which was a very hard warm up with different exercises such as sit up, star jump and step up we then got into the session, we did 3x3 with 1 minute rest and 2 minutes in between each set which was really hard for me, I only managed 6 lengths in and my legs were so tired after 1 hour of training I then had rest on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I went out on Sunday afternoon for a speed session. I did a warm up to start and then a speed session between the lampposts on valley road, it was good  to get out and run and then I went on the walking machine for 10 minutes because there was that much black ice around Northallerton I start my marathon training tomorrow for the next 14 weeks I would like to be doing around 30 miles a week and my aim is to do the marathon in 430-5hrs this year. With no miles this week there is none to count
