6 days to Amsterdam

only 6 days to go before my 2nd Amsterdam Marathon and as last year the doubts are creeping in.Reminding myself that ive done all i can.Into 2nd of Carbohydrate Depletion/Loading and dont feel too clever but worth trying out after a few of the Morpeth lads and and few of older Blyth Marathon Runners reckon it really works.

East Kilbride half 22/06--Glass half full

Today i travelled to a windy Glasgow for the Diet Coke East Kilbide half Marathon.There was a big field but i guessed most of the runner were fun runners.I started well and ran very even paced which pleased me a lot.Although i faded a little towards the end especially the 1.5 mile incline into a headwind i was pleased to finish 7th in 1.18.34 inside my 1.19 target and my Gps half time was 1.18.12.

Amsterdam Bring it on!!

Trainings been going really well recently and seem to have a balance between maintaining a bit of speed with endurance.Long runs especially are going great and todays 22 miler felt really easy on quite a hilly run managed to average 6.34 average without trying.All in all feel really confident to do 6.08 miling or 2.41 in Amsterdam after hopefully getting a morale boosting pb on my Great North Run debut.Double header this weekend Saturdays 6 stage relays then the Norham 10km.Funny thing is dont really want to do them but would like to help my club on saturday where as the Norham 10k is becoming an annual thing and its really good to catch up with some of the family.As always ill give 100%.
