6 miles in 32 minutes

This evening was a long overdue cross training session, on me bike!

I decided half an hour's non impact exercise was called for, to get my heart pumping, but my calf muscles and tendons not under too much pressure. I cycled round my normal "mile" route, although my bike's convinced it's 1.15 miles...

Mile 1 - 5m30s
Mile 2 - 5m24s
Mile 3 - 5m33s
Mile 4 - 5m15s
Mile 5 - 5m33s
Mile 6 - 5m28s

distance - 6.93 miles
average - 12.2 mph
max speed - 18.1 mph

Back to the running tomorrow. Thanks to a day off yesterday (and some vitamin i), but leg feels back to normal now.

More cross training at the weekend, when I start swimming lessons!

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
