Trish does the London Marathon.............: January 2007
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Tuesday, 30 January 2007. 3 x 1600m intervals with 400m rest intervals @ 14.5km/hr completed on the treadmill (incline set to 1% to compensate for the lack of wind resistance). V hard work - didn't think I was going to manage it, and had to cover over the display because the distance was going up so slowly I couldn't bear it. Future aims for these intervals - jog the recoveries! Monday, 29 January 2007. Sunday, 28 January 2007. They ar...

Trish does the London Marathon.............: Easter bunny
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/easter-bunny.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Monday, 9 April 2007. On friday morning I decided to do my 13 mile run - previously timetabled for Sunday - and discovered something I really should have known - an evening of beer, curry and antihistimines is not a good base for a 13 mile run in the sunshine! It was awful. Truly horrid from start to finish. After the run, stretch, shower, etc - me and jon loaded up the van and headed off to the New Forest for a couple of nights. I had...

Trish does the London Marathon.............: A bit more like it
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/bit-more-like-it.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Thursday, 19 April 2007. A bit more like it. Just back from my last run before Sunday - a nice brisk 3 miler. Was supposed to be done at my planned marathon pace (which is 8 min/ mile - and yes, that is 3:30 pace), but I just felt so GREAT that I might have gone a little bit faster at times. Very relieved - all of my recent runs seem to have been terrible for one reason or another, but just now I felt like a runner again :).

Trish does the London Marathon.............: March 2007
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Thursday, 29 March 2007. Feeling a bit rubbish today - a bit of a sore throat and a sniffy nose (my weekly 'cold') but also my right hip is super sore. No idea why - it was fine last night - but this morning it was really painful, and it's been sore all day. Wednesday, 28 March 2007. So many posts, so little time. Wednesday already - where is the time going? Rest day on Monday. I had lunch in the Park Centre (took a picture for you) wi...

Trish does the London Marathon.............: Stuff
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/stuff.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Thursday, 19 April 2007. Got a 3 mile run to do later - but already there is stuff to talk about. I received a 'care package' this morning from my lovely friends Julie and Robin in Sweden. It had all the essentials - vaseline, blister patches, chocolate, lucky knickers - and was a really lovely thought, so thanks for that guys :). Silly me. Never had my name on a running top though, so that is something else that is new and exciting.

Trish does the London Marathon.............: The last of the long runs
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/last-of-long-runs.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Sunday, 15 April 2007. The last of the long runs. Just' the 10 miles today. Left it till 6pm - feeling a little 'sleepy' from last night's beers and then it was way. Too warm to go running - so I just rested up until it was time to go. Overall though, I did average slightly faster than planned marathon pace, and it was hot, and there were hills, and I had beers last night - so . well, it's still not good for morale I can tell you!

Trish does the London Marathon.............: I DID IT!
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/all-over.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Sunday, 22 April 2007. So, here I am then - back from the big smoke, (battered) feet up on the coffee table watching the marathon highlights on the telly box! My legs are a bit sore (not looking forward to the next couple of day - stairs are already something of an issue), I have some hard core chaffing on my side from my waist bag and I managed to bleed through my lovely white trainers, but other than that - not too bad. Anyway, it wa...

Trish does the London Marathon.............: The night before.......
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/night-before.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Saturday, 21 April 2007. So, in just less than 10 hours time, Tom and I will be catching the coach from Farnborough to London and the start of the London Marathon! Yesterday we went up to the London Excel centre to collect our numbers, chips and goody bags - enjoyed a bit of a sit about in the sunshine (see the photo - Tom is 'hiding' behind my hair! Lots of water drinking and carb eating and sitting down last night - resting the legs.

Trish does the London Marathon.............: Ahhhh, that's better!
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/ahhhh-thats-better.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Tuesday, 10 April 2007. Ahhhh, that's better! Cycled to Aldershot (7km), locked up the bike, did outdoor running intervals up and down Queen's Avenue (lovely, nearly flat, straight road), cycled home. Intervals: 5 x 1km (3:52, 4:02, 3:58, 3:58, 4:00) with 400m walk/jog rest intervals. Was alright - not easy, but not terrible either - and over so quickly! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The road to knowhere. Mules for the masses.

Trish does the London Marathon.............: All downhill (3 weeks to go!)
http://trishsmarathonfun.blogspot.com/2007/04/all-downhill-3-weeks-to-go.html
Trish does the London Marathon. Http:/ www.justgiving.com/trishmonks. Sunday, 1 April 2007. All downhill (3 weeks to go! Friday I ran 8 miles. It was supposed to be at planned marathon pace - but I did it a touch faster. Not as crazy as usual though because I felt absolutely shattered. My legs felt like bits of wood and every incline was a chore - also it was raining (a lot) and I didn't really feel like running. Poor old me eh? Anyway, that was in the bag. The second lap - same 2 miles up hill into the ...
