Unexpectedly, I won a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon main ballot so here I am!
Writing is not my forte so please bear with any awkwardness. I wanted to record my progress and thoughts on the process of training for a marathon.
My training programme is based on VLM Improver 16 week Plan. I have recently recovered from a ITB injury and am very careful about over training. During the first 4 weeks of the plan I will be adjusting to make sure I am comfortable with my progress.
I ran the London Marathon back in 2011 with a time of 5h19 and really struggled because of lack of training. This time I would like to get round in under 5 hours more comfortably.
