“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you,
they’re supposed to help you discover who you are”

FEBRUARY 2010
Resting HR (average): 53
Resting HR range: 46-59
Neural mobility: 34/30cm
Average weekly mileage: 24km
Average training load: 79
Running time:km range: 4:50 – 5:29
After a good January and averaging 67km a week, February has been a disappointment with an average of only 24km a week.
The main reasons were finding it hard to sleep and consequently wake up and losing momentum.
With Comrades 2010 an unlikely reality now, establishing a routine is the most important thing to me and my schedule. The challenge for March is to build the routine up and perhaps not push quite as hard as January. With regular training I can build a base and start to prepare properly for a strong 2011 Comrades marathon!

Hey Sanjay, I commend you on your efforts and training for the Comrades – I always read in amazement at the amount of work you get through.
Don’t lose the faith if you don’t manage the 2010 Comrades -the efforts you have put in already I’m sure will give you a good grounding for all your future endeavours.
Good luck with your decisions and I’m sure a lot of people will be behind you no matter what path you take.

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your comment. If 2010 is not a reality, I can only train harder for 2011!
It helps to know that those who inspire me such as as my family are behind me. I think of you guys often when I am running (you get plenty of time to reflect when running!), and it helps push me harder.
Feel free to join me in 2011!
