To train or not to train?
It's that time of year when most people have a target race to train for. Whether it's the London Marathon or the Liversedge Half, this weather doesn't help we runners to stick to any schedule we may have put together ourselves or copied from a web site/magazine.
What training have YOU managed to do over the last few weeks? Fell runners will be loving this, although drifts can prove difficult to wade through. The Totley race on Sunday will no doubt be energy sapping to say the least. The weather for the weekend will probably result in a mixture of thick slush, mud and the occasional snowdrift to contend with.
Alex and myself have been out for a long run each Sunday, basing it on time on feet rather than a set time per mile. There has been little chance of any speed work with the paths and roads difficult to cope with. I can see us both "doing" personal worsts for the 13.1 miles on the 10th February. Most of our work has been along the Trans Pennine Trail which has provided us with some reasonable surfaces to run on. We have seen a good number of runners from local clubs using this facility to aid their training.
What are you managing to do at the moment? Let me know and I'll post it on the BLOG.
