1- Book: Run like a girl to learn how to run a marathon
2- Trainers (old but should be ok for now)
3- Sports trousers .... the old fashion black pants (need some upgrading here)
4- Top, my touch rugby long sleeve training shirt with my old nick name and number - General/16
but something was missing.....
oh yes, a coach!
5- Coach - but who? Google and books can only give me so much! Then I saw it! Here are some clues:
- He loves to say that his weight and body haven't changed since he is 18 (and this is true!!!!)
- His idea of fun is to do a triathlon while I dream with some beach holidays
- He was right in front of me
Hubby!
So naturally, feeling quite proud of myself and to impress him I say:
- "Hey honey I read on this running book that I need a coach and I have chosen you. What do you think?"
- "ok", so I keep going
- "So in my book they say I should ..." and then I see my coach for the first time!
- "Isabel, to run a marathon you need to run! Stop reading and get out!"
Now a little bit less proud I go to bed and wake up 6.50am and go for my first training.
1h later, lets say I am alive and looking forward to day 2!
So, any coaching tips for the coach or runner?
