It’s been a few weeks since i put together some Sunday Stats.  Partly because i’ve not had much chance to and partly because I’ve not had a huge amount to say about my training other than the odd post here and there.

I feel like a change so i’m amending the format of my weekly log too.  I used to embed a chart with my stats in the post. However, when I updated the chart at the source it updated all of the charts posted, so no point in having tons of the same chart around.  The weekly averages chart, plus another useless stat chart (total weekly ascent), can now be found on the 2010 Stats page of the blog.  I update the source spreadsheet after every run, meaning the charts should always be up to date.

And the running…

Well, it’s been a pretty good week!  I saw the Physio on Monday, who loosened up my IT Band and pretty much gave me a massive confidence boost by telling me i can run.  It was an odd moment but a pivotal one in this Marathon training thingy.  Since then I have run a few times with no issues, including a 15.5 miler on Sunday in which I felt very comfortable.  I was pretty nervous about doing it. Fearing that my IT Band would tighten up again and I’d have to give up half way though or something.  It didn’t though.  I felt focused, concentrated on my stride and all went well.  Very happy i was.

So, without even realising it I clocked up 28 miles last week (not including the 24 miles on the bike on Monday before I saw the Physio).  I’ll probably be much the same this week for miles (sans bike miles), I don’t want to over do things.

For a more detailed insight into my workouts, fell free to jump over to my Daily Mile page where i write up any thoughts after every run.
