Hello There,
And Firstly Welcome,
Welcome to my first and new blog space.
Let me introduce myself,
My name is Jamie Fox,
I'm 24 years of age, I live in a little town called Dover in Kent, and I live with My fiancee and daughter and Im due to get married next february 2010 in jamiaca.
The real Reason i am writing this blog is to tell everyone how im getting on and how I will be training for running a marathon and more importantly the London Marathon, as well as writing about how I have changed my diet and nutrition to give me the best possible chance of becoming more healthy and stand a better chance of crossing the london marathon finish line in 2010. I will also be using this blog to let other people write about their training and running a marathon and how to train best and enjoy running and the do's and dont's of training and running the marathon.
Now this just may look like an ordinary everyday blog but it is very different I can assure you.
See I suffer from Diabetes and Cystic fibrosis.
So my training will be different and my nutrition as I require more calories just to live a everyday life let alone running a marathon.
If you wish to find out more about CF please search for Cystic Fibrosis trust on a search engine and have a read.
Please also do the same if you wish to find out more about Diabetes.
Well so here we are
The marathon is approximately 26 weeks away and I have recently started training. Up until now I have just been doing light training you know not exactly running a marathon distance by any means but running at the gym 3 times a week 5k per visit and I have started to introduce more greens into my diet keeping myself hydrated and resting (not always easy with a two year old running you round allday long. He he.
But
From monday My marathon Training increases.
Starting monday I must run/jog 20 mins 5 times a week with an interval run in the middle of 10 minutes fast running 10 Minutes walking 10 minutes jogging.
This training schedule then increases every week on each run by 5-10 minutes by week for example

I think by now you sort of get where this training is going.
Whilst training I will be attempting to run 5k fun runs 10k fun runs etc half marathon all before the big one 2010 London Marathon
Anyway
I hope you have enjoyed my first blog if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

My daughter has cystic fibrosis and I just added a half-marathon fundraiser as a way of increasing the level of support we give. I have to raise $300 and for this race it goes to a organ transplant bank in San Diego. I wish you the best of luck in your workouts and your run.
I just ran 6.44km today, which is 4 miles here in the states. So I'm starting too!
