Running (19/06/11)

A little bit further than last week but the timing took a bit of a dive (just a tiny one), although part of that is down to some hill training which really took it out of me on Wednesday morning! Only 12 weeks left until the Marathon now...

5 runs
33.7 miles
4 hours 48 minutes

So that's an average speed of 7.03 mph

Read on for some details of what I eat.



Last week Tom asked me to keep a diary of my eating habits, I suppose to understand what nutrients and proportion of food groups I'm taking in on the road to the marathon. I can't say that I've been overly strict at recording my efforts but here goes (feel free to let me know if I've missed any details or if I'm not doing what you need, Tom).
