A massive jump up in distance this week, due to Philip being away four weekends before Christmas and also as we are doing an Ultrarow on the 7th November, 16 hours on a rower...
Anyway back to today's run, the aim was 15 miles, in the end we did 14.3, further than Philip has ever run. Having deposited water around the course off we set, steady and comfortable, except that Philip can't run in a straight line and kept wanting my space......
.
Everything was going really well until we hit mile 13 then Philip hit the wall, but determination and guts he finished the last bit, I take my hat off for that.
This was a big jump up in distance and Philip did really well, he was disappointed at the end for suffering the last bit, but you learn from this and he will be stronger next time..
This run came earlier in the training plan than scheduled so GOOD WORK PHILIP, keep running.
As for me I thought I deserved a glass of wine and chocolate... ( well even Personal Trainers are allowed a life:)
Trevor
Sunday, March 4th, 2012, Philip and Trevor will be running across the frozen ice surface of the world’s largest, oldest and deepest lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. It's generally considered one of the 10 toughest marathons in the world. Philip and Trevor are running in support of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes.
