Marathon Training - Week 1

Each week I will be keeping track of my progress in preparing for the New York Marathon. To see what effect preparing and running a marathon has on someone just around 30 and a bit on the chubby side will be interesting to say the least. I consider it the anti-Supersize Me challenge.

Week 1

Weight: 95 kg
Percentage body fat: 29%
Classification: Obese
Resting heart rate: 45 bpm (This can't be right! But does a Polar HRM lie?)

Distance run: 18.5 km
Average Pace: 6:39
Distance cycled: 0 km
Distance swum: 0 km
No. of weight trainin sessions:
No. of training sessions: 1

Units of alcohol drunk: 20 (Too much and let's see how reducing this improves my training stats)

Comment: To say the least, I do excercise regularly, but last week was more irregular. This week I'll up the sessions and variety of exercise.
