Countdown begins….

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok, I’m new to this blogging malarkey so bear with me… also not the best at spelling so be gracious (and ping me if you have some constructive editing for me!)

So its:

4 Weeks to go until the 71 mile Great Glen Way Walk (Fort William to Inverness),

10 Weeks to go until the 110 mile Pedal for Scotland Cycle (Glasgow to Edinburgh via the borders!) and

13 Weeks to go until the 26 mile jog and my first ever Marathon (along the bonny banks of Loch Ness…)

Going by my past efforts to do 10K run’s, Half Marathon’s and the 46 mile Challenge Pedal for Scotland my training could let me down!

However, this blog is hopefully going to embarrass me into doing more consistent and frequent training whilst sharing my experiences, sharing about the reason behind the challenge and generating some cash for a very worthy cause!

So where am I at…?  I’ve just recovered from a flu and finished my antibiotics to clear my chest infection and I’m raring to go…   Challenge number 1, I’m going on a 3 day training course outside of London so I know cycling is out this week and I’m going to take my running kit and get some time out pounding the roads every day!  (p.s. no I don’t think I’ll have time for training today as I’m catching a flight after work however, I’ll see how I get on if its not to late when I check in!)

“aye and Pigs might fly or Nessy might appear in Loch Ness” I hear you cry…   well here’s hoping… !

Overnoot for day one!

  1. Good on ye 😉 Top tip for Inverness Marathon is to do lots of hill repeats – the return leg back to town from the Loch is a long uphill out of Dores past Aldourie. As for the bike, I’d suggest investing in a turbo trainer as you get the best quality of work done in the shortest possible time. Use the Sufferfest videos and a heart rate monitor x

    • Excellent suggestions thanks Dave, although at 5’2″ I’m vertically challenged and had to return a TACX turbo trainer because my Triban 3 51cm bike wheels are simply too small to reach the resistance wheel!!
      I think I need to overcome my fear of the rain and embrace the Scottish downpours!
