Christmas is out of the way with only the Ne Year Celebrations left to come. For some of us though the training does not stop, but rather comes to a slower pace. For Marc and myself, its 17 weeks (or there about) of training ahead of us as we prepare for 'The Greatest Road Event in the World' - or what is better known as the London Marathon. Marc recently said to me when we were discussing training the and base plan, 'Let it commence!' Marc enjoyed the structure of marathon training, with each run having a goal and purpose.
Ray on the other hand, as he is aiming to do Manchester, is a little more into his training, but - the downside to Manchester is the early start to training and the resulting Christmas/NY break. However, Ray is a very down to other guy and has a simple goal to get round in one piece and enjoy it. Therefore, his needs is different. That did not stop him from running in the last XC of the year, over a very muddy and therefore hard, course. He is happy ticking over and, '....ready for the serous training and mileage.'
