Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: December 2011
http://alansmarathonchallenge.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Saturday, 31 December 2011. 365 days, 1016 miles. So, a year of running is over. After crossing the 1000 mile line a couple of weeks ago I had a full week off running in the week before Christmas, and then clocked up a few leisurely miles in an unusually mild and briefly dry Glasgow on Boxing Day. Thirdly, a big thank you to Michaela at Practical Action and Ceris at CLIC Sargent for your support,...

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: (Very) quick update
http://alansmarathonchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/12/very-quick-update.html
Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Thursday, 1 December 2011. So not a lot of running last week, due to a cold which disappeared quite quickly but then made a comeback and lingered for a few days. However, I felt better by the end of the week and got out at the weekend to clock up 12.5 miles in Dulwich and Greenwich, bringing my total for November to a healthy 84.6 miles.

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: Come on Come on!

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Wednesday, 6 April 2011. Come on Come on! To encourage the squirrels as she makes her way around the park - and it's become a bit of a mantra which the four of us who run laps there regularly use to spur each other on. Having spent much of last week working in Aberdeen, eating a little unhealthily and not running, my eight miles around Greenwich at the weekend was more of a struggle than usual - ...

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: Quick update
http://alansmarathonchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/10/quick-update.html
Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Sunday, 23 October 2011. A good week of running - couple of lunchtime runs along the Thames, a very comfortable 3 laps around Fairlands Valley Park for 7 miles on a beautiful cool sunny morning yesterday, and 4 miles around rural Hertfordshire this morning (the highlight of which was a couple of families out for a walk doing a Mexican wave for me as I ran past them). Running a total of 1000 miles;.

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: August 2011
http://alansmarathonchallenge.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Sunday, 28 August 2011. 5 laps of Greenwich. Today was the first time I'd done 5 full laps of Greenwich for nearly a year. Felt pretty heavy-legged to begin with but after a couple of laps I started to loosen up a bit and a few jaffa cakes and jelly babies helped to keep me going until the last lap. In fact I felt strong at the end and could have carried on beyond the 11 miles I'd done. In fact h...

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Sunday, 20 November 2011. Fog, colds and Movember. Like most of the rest of the UK it seems, I've had a cold for the last couple of weeks - which has curtailed my running a bit. I thought I'd got rid of it but it seems to have made a return and is still lingering in spite of all the fruit eating, vitamin C tablets and hot lemon and honey drinks. Hopefully I'll shake it off soon. Work is pretty bu...

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Sunday, 31 July 2011. 100 runs, 600 miles. A nice landmark to end July - my one hundredth run of the year and it took me past a total of 600 miles for the year. So, nicely on target and my training for the upcoming races is going well. So, 86.8 miles in July, and 601.89 miles overall. Sunday, 24 July 2011. Another good week's running this week, totalling 21.67 miles, including some more inter...

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011: September 2011

Alan's Marathon Challenge 2011. My journey of a thousand miles, including the Brighton Marathon, for charity. Monday, 26 September 2011. Back from the New Forest Half Marathon and a(nother) disappointing time: 2 hours 9 minutes 10 seconds. Ten minutes slower than last year and nearly fifteen minutes slower than my target. Looking at my stats for the first 5 miles shows the problem:. Mile 1: 9m17s, avg HR: 149 bpm. Mile 2: 8m52s, avg HR: 162 bpm. Mile 3: 8m44s, avg HR: 168 bpm. Due to the rules of my chal...
