Thought I would share my own training log and events i will be covering over the next few months seen as its quite in here. A bit of background I was unhealthy, overweight by 2 stone and totally unfit last year and decided to turn things around at the start of this year.
My first goal was to loose at least two stone which i completed and the second was to train for a marathon which I completed in Cork back in June (just under 4 hr). From there I have set some goals for this year and into 2011 such as running the DCM in under 3.30 and an Ultra or Iron Man for next year. In terms of fitness I am probably 90+% of the way there and I am totally hooked on the whole exercise regime sometimes training 5/6 days a week in some format and sometimes two sessions a day.
Weekly training generally consists of,
Two cycles probably covering around 80-90km
Three/Four runs probably covering around 40-50km
Two/Three gym sessions focussing on weight training and core strenght
Indoor Footie
Swimming
I will try log my journey and I have a few up and coming events with one major goal this year...to run the Dublin City Marathon in under 3.30 (26 mins off my pb)
So some events I have coming up
8th August - Kilomarathon in Kildare, a 26.2 km run/race
29th August - Sean Kelly Cycle, undecided on the 90km or 160km version
12th September - Bike the Blackwater, 105km cycle race
25th September - Wicklow Adventure Run (WAR) which is a 7 stage race covering nearly 50km of cycling, 1.5km kayaking and 20km of running with 6km uphill mountain running.
03rd October - 3/4 Athlone Marathon, a 19.65 mile run/race which will be a good training run for DCM.
25th October - Dublin City Marathon, a 26.2 mile run/race which I hope to run in sub 3hr 30mins.
Will try keep this updated.
