Today I went and dropped in on Dartford Harriers for a little session and see what they get up to. They do all sorts of running from short distances to long. I went with a few guys road-running in the end. And yes I came sixth of six. They went too quick for me, I was struggling to keep up. In fact so quick, I probably did a PB for 10k in the process as I apparently ended up doing 7 miles in just 54 minutes, which is about 7:40 per mile. Funny thing was I was getting into a rhythm towards the end when I told myself to relax and run your own way. I got tonnes of advice on running and tactics. So a little bit wiser.
Still that totals 18.5 miles in base mileage for the last 3 days. That's not bad. I am going to try and keep that level until the end of the week, then do one massive run on Saturday.
Also looked at gaining weight but this probably for after the marathon as it says you shouldn't mix goals. Also looking at diets. Essentially, the general consensus is I need to eat more complex carbs. There is still a little confusion about simple and complex carbs. I don't think I am eating nearly enough at the moment, particularly in the afternoon.
So far I have raised 330 pounds... Target is 1900.
