So... here goes 2016! Happy New Year!
My aim this year is 16 runs of marathon distance and beyond (including 4 or more ultras!) with a total running mileage of 2016 miles. I will be blogging about my journey as well as various health and fitness issues as I go along. This will be my first full calendar year of using a Fitness Tracker, so I will be posting my stats from the tracker as well as my logged training distances etc. Hopefully you will find them interesting reading. If you have a FitBit, please feel free to look me up on the Fitbit site and add me as a friend. Likewise, I am also on Strava - again feel free to follow! I will aim to post my stats to this Blog at the end of each week. Having started this year away in the Alps skiing, it has taken me until the 4th january to get my first run of the year done. Just a steady 5.25 mile plod today to find my running legs after having had three weeks off due to illness and holidays. I have signed up to Run the Year 2016 ( to run 2016 miles throughout the year) to give me some extra motivation to get the miles done, although I suspect that, on the whole, the miles will see to themselves as I log the training necessary for this year's challenges. First of the challenges will be 7 marathons in 7 days in the middle of February (UltraRunning Ltd's Hot Runner 7 in 7), so my training focus for the first 6 weeks of the year is completely biased towards endurance. Once that is out of the way, and I have taken a couple of recovery weeks, I will aim to tune some speed back into my legs for the following 6 weeks, before possibly running a road marathon at the end of April, then a 24 hr race, and London To Brighton, in May. A couple of trail marathons will follow in June/July, with 2 more 24 hour races scheduled for the end of July and beginning of September, and a couple more marathons in September and October... watch this space?! If you want me to blog about something specific, or you have any queries, just ask, either in person, or through the comments or contact section of this site... :-)
