Studying

This week I've started to read more about preparation, running tips, racing and training programmes for ultras. I will allow 20 weeks for serious training, so from the beginning of May, it will be bye-bye to ice-skating lessons and other extra activities and hello to running, running and more running.

This week I haven't managed more than one, very short, 4 km run on a treadmill. I stopped as soon as I started to feel the pain on the knee. It's been a recovery from running, although I did allow myself one spinning class and today's ice skating. Had a fantastic skating lesson and every time I'm amazed at how hard exercise it actually is. And amazing for the core. You really work every muscle of your body.

Will try a run on a Saturday evening. Sunday will be spent at work, but next week I should  be able to manage 3, possibly 4 sessions.
