First off - a great big THANK YOU! to everyone who has sponsored us so far, your contributions are going to two very worthy causes who address sickness and poverty with a dedication and commitment that us wannabe trailwalkers can only imagine. Thank you all.
I've settled into a reasonable training routine - 22-25 miles or so a week, all in the gym, and either on the cross-trainer or running machine.
Currently I'm working on my mental approach. When walking, even at tabbing speed, I can easily suspend my brain - switch off, listen to music, immerse myself in my own thoughts - and the miles flow past without my noticing them.
As soon as I start to run though, conscious brain is back with me, dreaming up every reason why I should slow down. So I'm practicing brain-suspension-whilst-running...and finding it very hard!
I'll let you know if it works...
