16 days and counting .................................
Welcome back blog fans, I know there is literally thousands of you that have been wondering where I have been, well you will be pleased to know I have been out pounding the streets training hard.
Significant updates since we last spoke, Sunday 29th April saw me complete a 23 mile run and not only that, in a very respectable 3 hours 15 mins !!!
So big run out of the way it is now all about shorter fast runs, I have mixed them up a bit varying the distances and speeds and also a few "Primrose Hill" runs in there for good measure.
Will be purchasing some race socks this week and hopefully they will be in tune with the "well fast" trainers and help get to the all important 3 hours 30 time on the 17th April.
I have ordered my iron on letter for my vest so when you come down to cheer me on, if you can't pick me out as being the bloke in the pink vest , I will now have Mr Doyle on the front and back. Feel free to start a chant and get the whole crowd going. Go up to people and ask, "Has Mr Doyle been through yet?", "Have you seen that Mr Doyle fella?" Stir up some publicity and then if Mrs Doyle is with you, get the iPad out and browse to
and get them to stick a few quid in the fund. I should now take the opportunity to thank everyone that has sponsored me so far, I know some of the more technically challenged of you (Tim and Rich Perkins) are having trouble with the "website" also known as their wallets !!!! But please persevere and donate what you can to this very worthy cause.
I promise a few more updates before the big race day including details of the post-marathon soiree
Until next time
Richard
Total Training Miles: 227 miles
