So, been doing this running lark, shifted some spare timber and noticed an increase in stamina and "wellbeing".
I was talking to Mrs EY about it and she said "Lets do something radical then".
She had her second hip done last Summer so has now volunteered/coerced me to do the "Thames Path Hike 2019" from Windsor to Henley................. 26 miles if you follow the river!!
Should anyone wish to chuck a £1 or so in a pot for Macmillan it can be done here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/teammaloney2019

I`m doubting my sanity..........................

I`ll update how the training is going now and then so you can all have a laugh.(y)
 
Training update.............. aside from doing ParkRun every Saturday morning we have now started the walk training plan.
Basically a long walk Sunday with 2 or 3 x 4 milers during the week as well as strength & bike work.
Last Sunday was a 7 miler, rest day Monday, 4 miler Tuesday, PT Session Wednesday, 4 Miler Thursday, Rest Friday, walk to & from ParkRun Saturday which will be 6 miles round trip, Sunday looking at 8-9 miles.
Got tired typing that!! ?

Park Run is great. Would really recommend it to others [emoji1303]
 
I've never done Park run, despite the Bicester one starting about a quarter of a mile from my front door, but love the idea for new runners. If you are looking to get into it then they are a great place to get inspiration.

Keep up the good work @Essexyellows

My training is getting to the silly levels now, just the 20ml training run on Saturday, before bus into Oxford for some drinks and a walk up the Cowley Road and back again for the Kanadia gig in the evening, going to be sore on Sunday ?
 
Im up to 40 ParkRuns..... started about a year ago. Mrs EY told me she was volunteering locally on the Friday, so I ran it Saturday....extreme "Couch 2 5k" !!! :) Since then shes had her second hip replacement and now walks it in 50 minutes or so.... (y)

Parkrun times started at 36 mins ++ ............. down to 28 mins and a bit...not bad for an old fat bloke. :LOL:
 
Saturday 16th March....... walked to Parkrun, done it, walked home about 6.2 miles all round.
Sunday.... 10 miles with Mrs M. 6 mile loop to home, pee and banana stop then a 4 mile loop.

Saturday 23rd March was Parkrun, as we have got all the kit walking to it wasn`t an option!
Compensated for that by trialing a new "long" walk route on Sunday , from home to a nearby country park, loop round the lake and back.
11.8 miles.......... mental note that the nice downhill bit on the way out isn`t as pleasant on the way back.

Theory is increasing each long walk by a mile or so with a shorter walk during the week.
