There is about six weeks to go now until the Leicester Half Marathon. This is the first event I am taking part in in preparation for the Marathon des Sables in 2012. Training is coming along well now, and I have spent the last month entirely injury free. I have also lost about 4 kilos along the way, I am still only running 30 miles a week, with my long run being 10 miles. I am purposely taking it steady as I want to remain fit. I think a large issue before was that I was training too hard. Every run had to be max effort, where as now I am disciplined enough to have an 'easy' run early in the week as opposed to thrashing myself every day. My goal is to run the Leicester Half at 8min/mile I think I am on target for that...
