Edinburgh Half Marathon - 12 weeks to go.......

Sunday 4th March 2012


I am now really looking forward to the Edinburgh Half Marathon. The last 2 years I have ran the Edinburgh Marathon but this year I decided to take a break from marathon training and I am going to do the half for the first time. I will be doing it with some buddies so really looking forward to it  especially as it is such a lovely weekend away.

The last 2 weeks since the Brighton half I have taken it easy and done a few runs but done more x-training however, from Sunday the 4th March I will start back on my training and my healthy eating plan. I don't plan to give up alcohol until closer to race day.

Nutrition
I plan to keep track of my weight and measurements prior to the race and will follow my healthy eating plan.
Depending on the exercise I am doing and rest days will depend on what I eat and how much. I like to eat little but often and I am lucky with my job I am able to do it. But I know it is not always easy for people to do and also the preparation time.

My measurements


Weight:               55.3kg
%BF:                  20.3%           
Right Arm:          26
Left Arm:            25
Chest:                 84.5
Waist:                 68
Hips:                   94
Right thigh:          51.5
Left thigh:            52

My training:

I plan on slowly increasing my mileage and I am most definately going to focus on my speed work and hill training. I will do some of my training around Berkhamsted so I can get some really good hills in some of my training runs.

So let the training begin...........
