January training update

As mentioned in my previous post, the start of my London marathon training wasn't the best but it was improving. I am pleased to say that the rest of January got better. Week 3 was OK (a 5.5 mile total 1500m reps session and another shorter run), Week 4 included a couple of hour-ish longer runs, a 2 mile trot with the beginners and the East Haddon XC race and Week 5 was mainly made up some 2 mile reps and the Southern XC @ Parliament Hill (very cold and muddy!). This isn't really as much as I had hoped to be doing. However, on reflection there are some good signs including a lot less walking at the 2 XC races, at last!
