Marathon Training by Michaela Shaw

Hi everyone

Matt Crompton has kindly organised some longer weekend runs for all the spring Marathon hopefuls (shown on the blog). Starting early January, Carole and I will be increasing our Tuesday and Thursday runs.  Tuesdays will be 8-9 miles and 10 miles on Thursdays, gradually pushing Thursdays run to 13 miles and using it as the mid week long run.  We will be looking to start at 6:15pm prompt to finish at a similar time to the main group. You don’t have to be doing a marathon to take part, if you just fancy a longer run come along.

I wasn’t training for a marathon this year but I tagged along with the Marathon group (obviously I missed out on the 18-21 milers!).  I really enjoyed the good crack, enthusiasm, motivation and determination of the Marathon group and those who completed Blackpool Marathon, London Marathon and Edinburgh Marathon did fantastic times.  It made me proud to be part of Astley and Tyldesley Road Runners.

I hope to see a welcome return of Matt at A&T soon.

Cheers
Michaela
