With the London marathon almost upon us there was a report on BBC breakfast that caught my eye offering good advice to those taking part. It is from the sports presenter Mike Bushell who will be running the marathon this year. Although it is primarily about the London marathon the advice is relevant to any event. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12608592
Just a quick note of congratulations to Stephen and Paula [I do have to declare a very close personal interest in Paula - we are married!] who I have worked with and continue to do so through a programme of regular maintenance and injury prevention. They both successfully completed the Leith Hill Half Marathon http://www.trionium.com/ and achieved personal best times for the off-road, hilly event. Although for Stephen that was a little easy – he had never run it before!
I can directly vouch for how well they both ran as Paula had persuaded me to join them. It is an excellent event, very tough.
Both Stephen and Paula have a number of targets for the forthcoming year: for Paula the London Marathon in April and the Atlantic Coast Challenge (3 marathons in 3 days) http://www.votwo.co.uk/votwo2007/events-and-adventure/race_view.php?i=73 at the end of September 2009.
Stephen is building for the Swiss Ironman http://ironman.com/events/ironman/switzerland event in July and we have put together a specific package for him that compliments his training programme.
