Welcome to my first new blog post!
I'm posting here mainly to hold myself accountable to training for the Gobi March which is taking place in Mongolia later on this year. The blog will mostly be updating on my progress but I also intend to publish some race reports and equipment reviews along the way. Hopefully this will be interesting to anyone in a similar position or perhaps those diagnosed with insomnia!
So far as running goes, I would consider myself pretty average with lofty aspirations. I've always had difficulty in being consistent with training so have never managed to get to anything even near competitive. That said, I find running enjoyable and it's most definatley not about winning medals or trophies for me or the majority of people that run.
The training plan is still a work in progress and I will publish a draft when I have balanced out the numbers properly. The distances per week start to look pretty intimidating once they start to stack up. I managed to complete the Marathon des Sables a few years back which was much more of a chore than I would have liked. I put this down to a lack of preparation in my base fitness which I don't really want to repeat.
Well, I think that's enough of an introduction post. I will tidy the page up as I go along, I'm not a particularly techy sort of person so I'm sure it could look a lot prettier!
Hope you enjoy reading, please do leave me comments if it takes your fancy!
