Are you following a particular training plan? Maybe I missed it, just had a quick look through your log.

Hi Murph,
I'm following the sub 4 hour Garmin plan found at Runners World
http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/racing/rws-garmin-ready-marathon-schedule-sub-400/2765.html

At some point the the plan you download was changedm with out the schedule on the web page being updated.

Ah. I see you have joined the DCM Novice thread too. So as you know they are following a different plan. Good luck with it - you'll get loads of advice from the novice thread mentors if you want/need it.

Hello all,
So the DCM is out, but I thought I would continue this log
First day running in two weeks, felt good.
Even used my HR monitor, which gave me a avg HR of 184 bpm, and a max HR of 246!!!!!!
Don't think I'll be going out with it again.


4 miles in 42:39
So that's a pace of
6:38 min/Km
or
10:40 min/Mile

Ososlo

good to see you back at it. Delighted for you:D
So will you set any other goals or races for the year?

Pegmatite

Thanks Osolo,
As things stand no goals for the rest of the year. Just run, enjoy it and stay injury free. I'm planning to just start slowly back, and build back up to a maintance distance of maybe 20 to 25 miles a week.

You look like your flying are you up to 50 miles a week now??
That is some going?

Running and enjoying it and staying injury free sounds just the ticket. that's what it's all about at the end of the day. If I couldn't do DCM for any reason, I'd cope with it as long as I could still run short distances regularly. DCM is not the be all and end all. There's always another marathon or race and the training is the most fun of all. I look forward to tracking your progress on here:D
Yeah I'm doing ok but keeping it mainly very easy. Really enjoying it and that's the main thing.
Best of luck
