until the Reading Half Marathon. The Reading Half marathon, which I am entered in, and competing alongside 5 of my friends. That's only 10 weeks, and my legs are hurting after a 3.5 km jog on Tuesday. I would have gone out again this evening, but the snow has turned to sheet ice and, whilst a broken ankle may be a good idea nearer the time, it's not high on my list of priorities for the time being.
They reckon that you shouldn't increase the distance you run by more than 10% a week. That means next week, I should be able to do 3.85 km. And in 10 weeks time, just ready for the race....?
err, 9.07 km.
Less than half the distance I will be expected to drag my puny chicken legs round in a bit of "friendly" competition with 'the boys', some of whom I may have given a mild ribbing in terms of who would be fastest. Time to rip up the training rule book (and probably my tendons). Aaaargh!
