Now that the New Year is here I tend to start thinking about training for the Big Race in June andlook to increase my mileage, this year that won't a difficult thing to do. Traditionally I tend to have a pretty easy second half of the year running-wise. I think it's probably because I've done so much (for me anyway) running during the first half, but this year felt worse than normal, so I added up the totals and was pretty shocked to find out how few miles I had done -
July was probably 15 miles max, I don't actually know, but it was the run when I supported Pete Duggan on his Rasmsay Round run.
I had hoped to have started my training a month earlier this year and was all set to begin in December but the snow scuppered that. Frustratingly the roads round my way are still thick with ice, making falling and picking up an injury a big risk, but I'll need to look at some way to kick-start my training.
