Philip's longest run - ever...
20 miles done, hats of to Philip as it was probably his best run to date.
We were greeted with good weather, no wind and to start with blue sky, are we sure it's January! I keep telling Philip we will get bad weather to train in but at the moment it will when we get to Siberia..
Then it will be a shock.
Back to today's run, we continued with our training plan of run 9 minutes then walk 1 minute and this seems to be working. We ran a 7 mile lap around Bicester ( I had thought we might do 3 laps, but changed my mind) so after a quick stop at The Fitness Company to pick up some water and more gels then we set off out past Wye Vale Garden centre,
down past the stables and out to the Merton Road, here we took a left into Ambrosden, cut across to Blackthorn, across the main road and into Launton, then back into Bicester to finish off.
That's it 20 miles done. As I said earlier Philip' s longest run.
Now we move on to tomorrows workout which is a gentle 1 hr of cross training and then it starts again on Monday.
Speak soon 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.
