So I did it. I have got myself a golden bond place with Mind for London marathon 2016. Mind are a great charity that offer valuable support for those with mental health issues. The money I hope to raise through sponsorship will help to help the charity continue the support they offer to anyone who needs it.
Right. So how the shit do I run 26.3 miles?!
I will need a routine.
I think the most difficult thing for me to change will be my diet. And my drinking habits. I've done a bit of research and most seem to say lots of chicken, veg and rice. Gonna have to get some chilli sauces, yo. Preparing meals will be essential and I'll have to cut the snacking. Beers will be a hard one. I've been drinking too much lately and will have to start limiting myself to one debauched night per weekend.
I will have to come up with a running plan as well - very important. Most plans recommend running three times a week, with a mixture of long runs and interval training. A friend suggested running for specific time periods rather than distance, as it will be easier to increase.
As winter is fully on its way I think I need to get myself some tight garms.
Anyway I'm writing this for my own reference more than anything to track my progress. First run will be after work tomorrow - half an hour constant.
This should be fun.
