Sam’s Running Diary – Training for the London Marathon Week 3

Week 3

Well, the Sunday run went loads better than expected, running around the Shropshire countryside was really pleasant and a nice change of scenery from my training so far. I was meant to do 6 miles at an easy pace and whilst the pace was easy, we unfortunately got lost and accidently ended up running 9 miles instead!

The rest of my training this week has gone pretty well, thank goodness all of the snow has gone now, whilst running on the beach is good fun, its definitely more of a slog than on the roads and difficult to run a decent distance.

Started to get blisters on the inside of my soles the last few days – I’ve invested in some good blister plasters so hopefully these should do the trick but I have a feeling I may need to invest in some new trainers soon….

Week 1

Well after a lazy and not particularly healthy December, this week has certainly kicked me back to reality!

Back to work and back to training all in one day luckily our Intermediate Training guide was relatively kind on the first day with no distance limit, just a 30 minute run at a medium pace on Monday which squeezed into my lunch break perfectly.

Mid week I hit a bit of a crisis however – the snow! Undeterred I carried on however and completed the latter part of my week 1 training programme by running along the beach (mainly to avoid the super slippery pavements) and have to say it was actually really enjoyable and much less treacherous!

Cancer Research 10K – A Big Success at Ashton Court, Bristol 2009

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Runners attending Bristol’s 3rd Cancer Research 10K, held at Ashton Court are well deserving of a Congratulations as they ran through one of September’s hottest days, across a challenging course including some pretty harsh inclines throughout the race.

The 10K kicked off at 11am and over 1000 entrants made their way up the first of many hills on the course which meandered through the Ashton Court Estate.

Definitely one of the more challenging 10K courses out there, Ashton Court has a number of hills and sharp bends and the midday sun was definitely not working in the runners’ favour.

The Leggit team were there in full force cheering on the participants (and wherever possible trying to drownout the idiotic commentry coming from the local radio presenters who were broadcasting from the finish line!)

All in all, a fantastic Race and certainly a great achievement for all of those who completed it! Leggit will be supporting the Cancer Research 10K events taking place throughout 2010 so keep your eyes peeled for information on next years dates!
