I just came across this rather..interesting looking exercise.

• Run 1 mile
• 100 pushups in as few sets as possible
• 100 crunches
• Run 1 mile
• 75 pushups in as few sets as possible
• 75 crunches
• Run 1 mile
• 50 pushups in as few sets as possible
• 50 crunches

Now, I’m pretty confident I could do the running bit. But the rest…ouch. So naturally, I’m going to try it out!

My physio will probably have a heart attack when I tell him, but here I go. Beginning Monday, I will be following a marathon training schedule.

The venue is as yet to be decided, but it’s likely to be Valencia or Vienna, my preference lying with Valencia as it’s a flat course, and Vienna is not.

Here’s to my knee exploding, holding up, or possibly even doing a relatively decent time. I’d consider <4 hours good given my knee problems of late, but I’d still be pissed off with anything over 3:30.

Yesterday I found an awesome little addon for my Garmin 205.

I’m a huge geek, and this is the kind of thing that really gets me going, so to speak.

On a more important note, this is the longest run I’ve done in about a year, and whats more, my legs feel great after it. No pain, no aches, and most important of all, my knee feels fine.
