I will remember 2011 as the year I started to train for fun runs. Also the year I damaged my achilles and calf muscles a couple of times while training. Ok, that taught me to take it easy and build slowly and strengthen all my leg muscles to prepare.
I found good information on the net at http://www.brooksrunning.com.au/runner_resource.php and
http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/
Lots of information is on the net, just google the words 'fun run training'
I also talked to a physiotherapist and staff at the gym. I now have a series of exercises I do daily to keep my legs fit for running.
Fun runs start in about April on the Sunshine Coast Point Cartwright and I am hoping to take part in all 5.
I also aim to do the Jetty 2 Jetty at Redcliffe, maybe the 10k course but will see, if not then it will be the 5k course.
Training continues, nearly all of it at the gym and includes RPM, rowing machine, weights and the treadmill. 2011 ended with a 5k run on the treadmill Friday afternoon and I hope to continue this into 2012 each week plus some 1k and 2k sessions.
