Training Setback

Last week, during training for the Cure Leukemia 10km I injured my leg and was unable to take part in the event which was held yesterday. Although my leg had improved slightly by yesterday morning I thought that it may jeopardise my training for the bike ride so didn't want to risk it.

I'll carry on doing a few gentle bike rides this week.

Revised Route Plan

I realised yesterday that the original route plan was split over 7 days and not 6 as we had originally agreed. As a result I have reworked the route, this time to start and end each day at a BT building and also regroup and have lunch at a further BT building each day. This way we will get more people involved and maximise our money raising potential.

This is an interactive map of our planned route.

Training Update - 5km Run

Today I completed The Birmingham Mail 5km Fun Run in a time of 27 minutes 30 seconds (click for photo). I had set myself a target time of 33 minutes (as I have been running approximately 10 minute miles during training) so I was pleased to beat that.

I now need to up my training to complete the 10km run in two weeks time.
