I have decided during 2017 I am going to run a marathon. I just can't decided if I should run half a mile a week, or a mile every other week.

Rete

I have decided that I will be on the sidelines with a bottle of water, a fifth of scotch and a towel to watch Lansbury run the marathon.

Can't build up tolerance doing a run only once ever other week. Do the shorter run weekly.

I think he means 26 miles over the whole year not all at once

Then why didn't he say that outright ... nitwit

Takes her bottles back home with her.

I was looking for guidance on the best way to attempt this feat. Disappointed I can no longer look forward to your support.

Walk.

Which is how it all started. My doctor told me I should walk a mile and a half a day. I said I get bored just walking and go home. I have to have a reason to do it.

Are you the kind of person to enjoy a podcast or audiobook?
They make the time pass fast, and you end up looking forward to the walk/run for the next instalment.

Well, at least after a week you will be 90 miles from home.

lansbury

No I walk a mile and a half and then call my wife to come and pick me up.

lansbury

I am not taking a s**t machine with me, so I have to clean up behind it.

Scraped too many people up off the road where their earphones stopped them hearing the car that hit them. Unfortunately we don't have an open space that has reasonably level longish walking trails near by.

Maybe in 2017 I'll start to use the gym that I pay for. Maybe.

Just don't go in the next 6 weeks or so, as many gyms are packed with people feeling obligated to try to fulfil New Year's resolutions. Classes will be full, machines will be busy etc.
