ENTRY NO: 189071

It's arrived, I am now officially registered for the 2007 ING New York City Marathon.
Yes that's right, on November the 4th I will take to the streets of New York in an attempt to run for 26.2 miles.
There are many reasons for me doing this ranging from a need to get fit and a long desire to actually achieve something, but mainly it's for the challenge and charity, I am running for The Anthony Nolan Trust who help save lives from leukaemia by providing lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant. Having lost 2 friends; Mickey Bundle and Johnny Allen to Leukaemia in the past 3 years and having watched my fellow rugby player Sam Hart walk single-handedly from Newcastle to London, I have been inspired to throw on my running shoes and to go and do something a bit silly, 26.2 miles it is.

Running Speed

So, into week 5 of my "how to run a marathon for stupid people who aren't fit enough to run a marathon" training programme and I'm confused, yes, very little baffles the sharp mind of Mr. Scott, but this has.  You see, the training programme is now talking in terms like, jog, steady, easy, brisk, fast, slow, comfortable and hard, like - 75 minutes steady or 40 minutes brisk etc.

Now for those that know me, you might now understand my confusion, you see, I have 2 speeds of running, one is the pace I class as "running" and the other is "walking", there is nothing faster than running and nothing in between, if I really wanted to I could add "standing still" as a 3rd and possibly "lying down" or "walking backwards", but I'm not really sure that is in the spirit of what I'm trying to achieve.  So my quandary is, what pace is my "running" pace, am I jogging, taking it easy, steady or briskly?

In stress ECG, there is a bike you paddle on it with a programme called Bruce protocol.

I am now unfit and I know it is so hard to get back to do the sports I used to be good at it.

Nice blog btw
