Marathon Training – Week 13 Update

jpalmer — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:42:16 GMT

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been suffering from Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS). Luckily after a few trips to the physiotherapist and 2 new pairs of custom built foot orthotics, I’m back running again. Yesterday, Eddie, Sophie, Nicky and I ran 22 miles, up to Greenwich, through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel crossing the River Thames and along the North Bank, across Tower Bridge and back to South London. So the longest training run is now out of the way.

I’m still collecting sponsorship for Help the Hospices, so if you’re able to sponsor me, you can do so via Just Giving.

Marathon Training - Week 7 Update

So the scores for last week's Marathon Training were:

Time	6hrs 57min 49sec
Distance	48.20 miles
Ave Speed	8:40min/mile
Calories	8292kcal

My calorie burn this week equals the number of calories found in 37.69 Starbucks Grande Skinny Mochas without Whipped Cream (UK version - I found out that asking for a Skinny Mocha in a US Starbucks will get you something containing sugar-free syrup!!). A few more miles this week owing to missing my long Sunday running and having to do a 13 miler before catching a flight to Seattle on Saturday morning instead. It was really worthwhile as I got to see an amazing sunrise at about 7am.
