So the training plan so far consists of 5 days on and a couple of days rest. The schedule came from the lovely coach Julie on the Greater Manchester Marathon website, with whom I have developed a love hate relationship.
Tonight's training consists of Nick and myself finding a hill, running up it for 40 seconds, jog back down and repeat this 10 times.
There are few hills in Manchester it has to be said, however we found two reasonable locations. One unfortunately happens to be in an area where quite a few 'street' workers hang out, and that hill is a little too short, steep and cobbled. The better one is near sports city stadium and a reasonable short run from home.
Not the most ideal of areas to run in, but that at least gives you a little incentive to run faster!
The rest of the schedule consists of a mix of runs, club runs and long distances.
