Yesterday I set up my MyAsics plan for my HM training. I missed this last year, it has become quite a fun ritual. 1st of November HM training starts. I am full of cold but the plan doesn't start till next week so that's ok. 18 weeks to my first HM next year then one 11 weeks after. This year I have told MyAsics that I don't run so my first run is 1km. Hehe I am running 5km a week at the moment but I want to start my training plan off slowly as I have had a bit of a struggle this year and I want my training plan to be a positive addition to my life not something that stretches me past what I can do.

I have a new phone this year so I am actually thinking about using the voice coach. I have heard different reports on this so it should be interesting.๐Ÿ˜€.

A happy healthy week to you all.

I set up my asics plan up last week for hm training for April 2018, so plenty of time! My first runs are 4.5 mile easy pace which feels too easy. I see the plan jumps up to 8.5 miles and later a 11 mile run before the event. I have been running a 7-8mile every other week which I may still do. Eek, it is exciting but ages away. I haven't booked the event yet though.

I love the thrill of setting up my training plan. I am at my happiest when I have a plan that I can tick the runs off and feel that lovely sense of achievement. MyAsics always has the first run at a walking pace, I don't know why they do that, maybe to lull you into a sense of security ๐Ÿ˜€. enjoy your training.

Have you booked your event yet? I am not sure whether to or not so far in advance.

Hehe I am terrible I booked both of mine in April/June this year. The first one is a new one the big half in London, it sold out in a couple of weeks it is two weeks before the London Marathon (March )the second is my favourite one which is the Hackney half (May) I like to get the early bird prices if I can. I find that having a date for me just adds to the fun and works as my conscience if I don't feel like going out ๐Ÿ˜€.

I have set one up too..... aiming for April HM but a hopeful 10 mile in March..... eeek. I told the plan i cant yet run 5k too as I want to rebuild following my recent physio! So I'm only up to 4k at the mo....., perfect as I want to concentrate on technique and form so slowly slowly.

Thank you. I feels like it has been a long road. I realise I need a plan to feel like I am accomplishing something.

Yes I had heard about Nagging Nancy. I am Looking forward to meeting her, I think! ๐Ÿ˜€

Don't worry about Nancy, she will love you. You will be teacher's pet. Unlike me and Wobble who both got sent to the naughty corner pretty quickly.

This should be interesting then as I spent quite a bit of time in the headmistresses office at school. Definitely not a teacher pet. I am prone to swearing at talking coaches, I even swore at the lovely Laura a few times ๐Ÿ˜€. (Strange as I don't normally swear, it just brings it out of me when my run is under pressure๐Ÿ˜ˆ)

Very exciting RFC! Good luck with your training. I am aiming for a HM in March - training has not yet commenced and I don't use official training plans as such...๐Ÿ˜ฎ It feels a long way away at the moment, both in weeks and runnning time but I know will come round quickly once I get past Christmas. There is a vague training structure in my head though, so I am not completely unprepared...Oo, starting to feel a bit nervous just thinking about it!๐Ÿ™‚

I have 18 weeks until my HM, that shocked me when I saw it in MyAsics plan. I'm get excited as soon as I can see the plan, to me the training is 90% of the fun.

Eek! Me too, RFC! Mine is the Surrey Half Marathon on 11th March. What about you?

I'm doing the new London Big half. Tower bridge to Greenwich. It's a bit of the London marathon reversed. 4th March for me.
