[Sicilian]

As some of know I'm running this years Virgin London Marathon for Heartresearch UK If you'd like to sponsor me you can do so by clicking HERE or my signature below.

Now the Christmas break is over the hard last 16 weeks of training begins. Below is my training schedule that I started last week. This is just my running, in between the running day's I'll be throwing in a mixture of cross training, stair climbing and weight training. Each week I'll be posting my actual training, as it can vary due to weather. As you'll see this year I'm only running 3 times per week to hopefully avoid the injuries I sustained last year: -

Time for another update.

Important thing first, fund-raising is up-to £1335.00, which I'm happy to reached so far because of the current financial climate. I always knew it would be hard to raise funds this year. So all donations are very much appreciated even if its the minimum £2.00 donation at justgiving.

Right now back to my training. :banana:

I've been managing to keep up with my running program even with this horrible cold weather we've been having. I've stopped weight training my legs to keep them fresh for my long weekend run & upper body weight's been cut down to once or twice a week. Trying to keep myself fresh for running.

So far so good, everything on track and not picked up any serious aches & pains like I had this time last year.

Please keep donations coming and thank you for all the support / donations so far.
