Month: April 2012
Training Schedule: 18 Weeks of Preparation
Preparing to commence running in September. The whole thing is a little daunting, not because of the intensity of the task, but because I experienced failure in commencing my previous effort. For me, that is the biggest obstacle, and your support is immensely important.
So here is my training schedule for the next 18 weeks. If you want to join in at any time, or to drop me a line ask how I am doing, I would love to hear from you. If you need any advice in any training you are working towards, please drop me a line as well- I would love to help out where I can.
