Hello there and congratulations to everyone that has signed up so far, I can't wait!
The University of Glasgow Sport & Recreation Service are giving me some training support and so the first thing is a fitness test tomorrow morning @9.30am.
It all seemed quite a good idea and now I have to say that I am a bit nervous... and that was before I was told that I had to fast from 10pm tonight!
It is going to involve a 'continual ramp test that will continue until I physically can't continue anymore'! Happy days.
At the end of it though - I will be able to compare against other runners, including top Kenyan athletes so that will give me something to aim for!
Will let you know the results - well I might but it maybe depends what they are... the things we do!

Actually quite enjoyed it - in a strange sadistic sort of way. Will get my results next week and find out a bit more about what they mean. The team there are also going to give me some simple to follow nutrition advice so I will share that with you. Anything simple is fine by me.
ReplyDeleteWent for an 8K run this morning - much better without the snow. Not as pretty but definitely easier - all we need now is the sun!

Hi Pippa. I had volunteered for something similar but I think it was a different dept at Glasgow Uni. Did you get your results back? Hope training going well, especially as we have had some sunny, but cold, days! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave had the results back but have to admit that I dont really understand them! Meeting the nice people from Sport & Recreation next week to see what my new training programme is going to entail. Up for the challenge... (I think)! How is your training going?
