Well my training plan has gone out the window, as has any monitoring of my performance. My attitude has become much more relaxed and so far the runs I do, although short, are much more pleasurable and feel easier. Perhaps this is the approach that suits my charcacter, I just hope that it pays off and I am able to finish the race in August. There is so much advice out there it is difficult to find one's own path.
One thing I am taking seriously however is my twice daily exercises and stretches. I start with a series of exercises to work on upper body, core and leg strengths. Then I finish with a series of stretches to try and keep my muscles flexible. I tend to ache every morning but I assume this is a result of a lifetime of muscle building without any stretching. I am by nature, slim and muscular. I tend to do a lot of physical activity but I have never worried about stretching. Unfortunately this combined with my tense nature means I am very inflexible and running has really drawn this out. Hopefully by becoming more flexible I will suffer less.
