| Introduction | My main interest is running. Let me explain... It all started back in early 2005, as I was trying to get fit, I started running. First 10 minutes, then 20, 30, 40, 60, 90, 120. After 6 weeks I did my first event, the 2005 Brisbane Half Marathon. Finishing this was the greatest buzz. Then the next week, this was suddenly all taken away from me and my running was over. I'm not going to explain why. It was to be another year before I was able to start running again (March 2006). I started from scratch in exactly the same way as the first time and went back in 2006 and did the same Brisbane Half Marathon race again. I'm back baby! So I guess I'm still pretty new to all this. I'm slowly getting faster, going further, building endurance. At the moment I'm averaging about two speed sessions a week, four runs a week, and about 45 to 50 k's a week. Currently I'm trying to build up endurance, speed, training intensity, aerobic capacity, and trying to remain injury free at the same time. Goals: Still deciding on any exact 2007 goals. I generally plan to improve PB's in all disciplines and events. 2007 may hold a marathon debut (Gold Coast?)?? |
