Ahhh and rest :-)
Nov11200912:33 p.m.
Today I am having a rest day, I was planning on a three mile run again but I am going to go tomorrow instead as my hips are achy after two days on the trot (excuse the pun). Is it ok that I am only 27 and get achy hips?? Makes me feel like a proper old lady, but after a day off I’m right as rain and it never hurts when I run.
I have been absolutely famished the past couple of days so I have had a couple of hundred extra calories, which I feel confident I will burn off on my 9 mile run this weekend.
I’m following a training schedule but reading some of your blogs, I wonder if I am running enough. I’ve seen a couple of you run 7 or 8 miles a week twice a week plus a longer run at weekends. Should I be increasing my mid week runs in length? I must say the dark nights are an irritant and I am wondering if I should join a gym…but it’s an expense I could really do without.

As long as you get to Christmas with some miles under your belt and fit and healthy you will do fine' added 11th Nov 2009

Shaun 'I've felt about fifty years older after some runs, so don't think you're the only one! I wouldn't worry about what some other people are up to - just follow Keith's advice and stick to your own plan and you'll be fine.' added 11th Nov 2009

simonedumergue 'As long as you doing one 'long' run a week you can mix the other runs up to suit where you are at the moment - worst thing to do is to push it too hard trying to keep up with a perceived level of others. This side of Xmas it is all about getting a good base built up. Last year and this year, I am aiming to be doing 10-12 miles for my 'long' weekly run by end of the year (which is what I did last year). But - lots of people are doing it differently! Good luck.' added 11th Nov 2009
