Marathon training 6/6/2012
Two days rest, which where great watching the Queen we do this pomp stuff so very well. Repotted the plants, lettuce, tomatoes sunflowers, herbs.
Started the new food plan, As I said its just making small changes, I was looking bacl at other diet advise Steve has given me over the time training, it seems like I have moved slowly in developing and changing what I eat and this is possible better than actually a full blown we have to change everything. That way I make the changes and stick to them in my own time.
10 miles ran today it was very tough, I struggled to do this. Both motivation I wanted to stop and my fittness. Still its a good feeling I have done it and that is it until next week.

Marathon run 2 June 2012
Yesterday I completed the gym core, it was a good session all though not hard. I found I was working quietly and peacefully. Did the 8 times with a count of 10 abs exercise, sames with Planks. This is very intensive and Steve does have a name for it but I am not sure what. I followed this with side planks, other ab exercises, ball bridge, in between doing the versa and finally as all ways stretchs.
Added in balance work that was not that good, funny how your balance can be effected day by day.
Today is lower body work lots of squats will do that 10 squats 10 lunges, the circuit squats and lunges with cowbells and dropping medicine ball etc. That inside thigh machine and leg press. With of course the dear old versa, bike.
Than its rest day tomorrow and Tuesday.
I started the food plan, when I looked at it I though I am not far off , my eating since I started with Steve has changed quite a lot, and its not far off, I do not want to go mad I am not a top sportswoman just a little housewife, perhapes a very silly one, or stupid not sure. What ever just ordinary so I do not want to go mad, just make chahges that will help me and I can keep up, any way I want to see how it makes me feel, healthier, good that is what is important. This morning I started these changes, I had egg not thee but two, and tomatoes and wholemeal. I feel quite light and good. Snack I have yougert and grapes. The cottage cheese and wholemeal toast is nice. The beef, and chicken and veg I already do.

Marathon training log June 2
I have not really written anything on my log as I have been ill with a chest infection, that has set me back a bit. I could not run the Manchester 10 k this was a big disappointment as I was to meet the team of the rainbow childrens charity who I am running for.
The other day was really my first big training run since the Liverpool half marathon, it was raining but better than running in the heat and I cover 8.5 miles and got lost on the way following the diversions for the cars as the pavement was closed, not really knowing where I was going , hence the extra .5 of a mile. My next run will be on Wednesday and is 10 miles. So here I go I am not the fastest runner in the world, rather the slowest so it,s like a day trip as the miles are added on. I most get a Tee shirt from the Rainbow group as I spend so long on the open road its good promtion and raising awrness for them.
I have been very demotivated in my training in the gym, I seem to be doing the same thing over and over again by myself and I know I need to start to get in to shape, i have learnt that the body adaptes so constant change is needed. I have written out three programmes myself and I hope I will be ok.
So this week its core today, lower body strentgh on Sunday, rest Monday and Tues and run Wednesday. gym Thursday and so on.
Core will be a good helping of my PT 8 repeated exercise with a count of 20 for rest. This is pretty intense. Added to a balance regium and versa. All done in an inteveral. Mostly I have too admit that when I say I have written out my programm I have actually barrowed my PT exercises and anyway when I do see him I can say see I do them better. Not sure what he would think of my programms but I reackon I made a good attempt.
Yesterday was spin that was a killer, some women talk in this class I am not sure how I am always sweaty and out of breath and look like something the cat dragged in afterwords, well actually before too, just worse afterwords. They most be very fit I am guessing. I have lost a lot of weight this week surprising.
I had a big chat with my PT and I am doing a longside this some muscle stregth , buliding exercise , but its all in the diet so I have a new diet which I am starting today. I am not sure when we start the exercise part that is with Mr PT and I have no PT book next week. Very excited about this. But lets not lose sight of the real issue I am doing this for children.

Training Log - Marathon
I have not written in this much as I have been ill, chest infection knocked me right back.
But yesterday I ran 8 .5 miles, I was really pleased it was a good run. I have just told the ladies at the club so now it is about what I most do the two back to back marathons.
