The PB at the Time Trial week 6 of the training plan diary

I have finished the first 5 weeks of my marathon training plan with 100.95 miles covered so far compared to 2011 when I only managed 61.8 miles and still more training to do and more hard sessions from the club I should be able to run the London Marathon in 4 hours 30 minutes instead 5 hours what my target is

Monday   Club with Sonja.

We did a warm up with drills then onto an 8 station cardio circuit with a few more exercise this week such as the one leg squat and still did the running step and the squat stand up and sit down on the chair followed by 'A Deck of Cards' workout where we had to do different exercise such as Burpee, dead buck, press up and sit up but we end up doing the most burpee maybe 100 by the end of the exercise very tough work out from Sonja the coach

Tuesday 7 x 10 min with 2 minutes rest

I went out on the flat and ran for 10 minutes at a time just a round Northallerton each time covering just over 1 mile every 10 minute with the 2 minutes walk to recover my Ave pace was 10min/miles I end up doing 7 of these covering 7.58 miles  and I was glad to finish because I was tired I did a simple training session in week 4 and I could even manage to get to a miles so I the training programme must be working

Wednesday

I went to the club tonight where there was no circuits this week because the sports hall was being used so we met at the athletics club and ran up to the train station as warm up and then it was a 2 miles run down to lidl and back to station where I managed to get a PB and best time overall on that course which I was so happy and then it was 1 miles cool down jog back to athletics club my time was 17.30
