A also doff my hat at you Dan.  

I prefer running in winter... the colder, wetter, windier and muddier it is... the better in my book.  


Indeed, the winteryness is a positive, not a negative.

Week -1 of 18


Another satisfactory warmup week in the bag. I'll be doing exactly the same routine for 4 weeks, which, might get a bit boring, but by week 2 I'll hopefully be champing at the bit to ramp up the mileage (by a whole half a mile - what idiot wrote this plan?). 

So yes, three more early morning plods, two frosty, one damp. Sunday for the easy run was particularly nice - I treated myself to a 6.45 lie-in and got out just at first light with the mercury around two degrees below. Perfect conditions. I guess, after over 13 years of running, I should finally invest in my first pair of trail shoes, as I'm now barely touching tarmac. Buy yes, I will remember to do a couple of long runs on pavement before race day.

A new development this marathon campaign will be THE AWESOME INFOGRAPHIC, which will allow you to visualise my progress week by week. You can see that, as always, my volume goals are modest. Quality not quantity.
