135 days to go - Bad news on the ballot but bobbie comes through.

Route #2 Duration : 58 min 41 sec Energy : 762 KCal Distance : 7.0 miles Max HR : 160 bpm Av HR : 146 bpm Mile pace : 8:22 min/mile I got the "unlucky looser" magazine from the Flora London Marathon today. That means that I have not been successful in the ballot for free places for April and I will definitely have to take up the Golden Bond place offered to me by Cancer Research. This means that I am commited to raising at least £2000 so please dig deep for those sponsorship pennies. On the subject of sponsorship, a big thanks to bobbie for her generous donation today. The training today went really well, I cruised round the 7 mile route staying in my target HR Zone the whole way. Reading the training plans in the Marathon magazine has given me pause for thought over my training schedule, I must make sure that I incorporate sessions with varying degrees of intensity, from long jogs to explosive interval work.
