Marathon Training

5 Miles easy run

/ Dave / 1 Comment

Since I missed Tuesday’s run thought I would do it today instead, I also got the chance to try out my new action camera.

The camera was only a cheap one but it looked good enough, I had it fixed to me using a chest strap, the route would not be exiting but it was only a test run.

Well the camera was light enough and over the 5 Miles caused no discomfort which was good.

When I got home I download the video, it took less than 30 seconds to turn it off, the picture was so shaky, I guess that’s why you don’t see Runners with camera’s strapped to them lol We live and learn.

So I managed 5 Miles at a easy pace in 40:53 minutes, average pace 8:10 minutes per mile.

Feeling great, looking forward to Sundays long run 🙂

40 Minute Tempo run

I missed my run yesterday due to my daughter being ill, she only has a bug but by the time I collected her from work and got back home time just ran out.

I woke up feeling fantastic, jumped out of bed, did usual – check email, weighed myself (I know obsessive), running gear on.

Downstairs I eat a banana then start cleaning up, I washed up all the dishes then loaded the washing machine, Finally I prepared the dinner. My wife arrived home from work at this time so was able to take over so I filled up my sports bottles, done my warm-up exercises and out the door I went 🙂

40 Minute tempo running – 4.89 miles, Average 8.14 minutes per mile

My running vest from Clic Sargent arrived today so I got to wear that which was cool, Got to decide which vest to wear on the day of my Marathon now lol
