On September 18th 2005 I shall be having my second crack at the
BUPA Great North Run. I have done it once before, but was a big lad back then, and it took many hours
- I shall be running on behalf of
Shelter.
I have a series of treadmill speed and distance increase goals as follows (subject to
dramatic change, which I shall be marking as passed or failed appropriately, with the target of finishing the 1/2 marathon distance (21.0975km) inside 90 minutes - the thread exists for me to keep a log of what I have managed, as well as to invite feedback on my approach/goals/etc etc.
Sunday 24th July - 10k @ 13.7 km/h = 43:48 minutes - PASSED
midweek - 10k @ 14.0 km/h = 42:52 minutes - PASSED
Sunday 31st July - 10k @ 14.3 km/h - PASSED
midweek - 10k @ 14.7 km/h
Sunday 7th August - 15 km/h
...and so on with distance increases at 15km/h - will get a better feel for this as the time approaches.
Note that this isnt all I'm doing - I am ordinarily in the gym 6 days out of 7 doing some form of running, rowing, or resistance work (though from now on the goals above will be all the heavy running I get involved in), and plan to take it outside around a month ahead of the run date. I shall be back later on today with info on whether I passed my 10k @ 14.3km/h target
