Week 5 - Learning Run-Walk

I never took training that seriously until now. There's just no way I'll DNF my first full marathon. I told myself, I have to do something that will count me as a serious runner, and not just some person who wants to run just for the heck of it. Hmmm, but still just a recreational runner, haha!

TBR is just so cool, in the sense that they would really prepare you for your big day. They make no assumptions, just a training plan that is tried and tested. Slots would not have been filled up right away if the brand is not reputable, it simply is.

As a stubborn runner, it has been very hard for me to keep up with a training plan but so far, on the training plan they gave out at TBR, I'm still good at week 5. That's two maintenance runs and a long run each week. Good thing there's free use of gym at work, I can do maintenance runs indoors. Then one in a while there are bull sessions where we participants run together, like this photo here. It's free for all, you can join even if your not in TBRDM 2013.

Slowly, but surely, I'll build my weekly mileage.

Week 4 - Back In The Game

This post has been long overdue. I'm just going to pretend that I was sucked in a time space warp. This week is week 4 of my road to a marathon, simple because I say so, haha!

Even though I’m not writing, I didn’t quit running a decent training plan. I had completed a couple of runs. All were disappointments. I never reached my target times. I simply lack training. Signing up for a full marathon is my first step in getting away with the regrets. This time, failure is not an option. DNF will not happen.

In a few hours, I’ll be on my first Bull Session for the The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2013. I’ve been becoming slower lately, but I don’t intend to keep it that way. Back in the game!
