Another day, another run. It's long run day. Today's plan was for a minimum of 13 miles, and if I had the energy, throw in some uptempo mile intervals. It was a very sunny day for a change with no rain,

So it's day 3 of the running plan and here is how I got on. Taking it nice and easy today. The idea was to get some easy recovery miles in, but mostly to enjoy the run. I decided a nice run up on the trails

So on to day 2 of my running training. My plan for today was a 3 mile tempo run followed by a recovery run on the treadmill in the evening. So I started out with the tempo run. I did 2 miles to warm up,

So the Great North Run is in September and I have decided to really go for it this year hoping to get anywhere near 1 hour 25 minutes. I last ran this a couple years ago in a time of 1 hour 40 minutes,
