Got some new shoes on saturday Mizuno Wave something or other. Went to this brilliant shop in Safron Walden called "Runnerway" (http://www.runnerway.co.uk)where they put you on a treadmil and film your legs and decide waht shoe is best. Then the lady insisted I go for a test run before I bought the shoes.
So I had to go test them Saturday afternoon and I ran about 8 miles. Tried a new beer Entire Butt Porter from Salopian Brewery - really good pint which aided my recovery.
No running Sunday - family party for my sister's 25th Wedding Anniversary
Monday 4.5 miles

Training Diary

Ok I am goingto run the London Marathon in April so I am going to use this blog as a training diary. I will be carb loading with beer along the way, and of course teh viatmain B is good for recovery so long as the alchohol does not block its absorption

so today about 5 miles, 50 pressups and 65 situps with 10 burpees
