Hi Kiwifella!
Thanks very much for your reply.
Up until the last week I had been doing longer distance 'medium pace' running/jogging to up the old cardiovascular (sp?) which worked to a tea as you have been doing. Long runs down Public Foot Paths and the like (live out in the sticks!).
The last week or so I've been mimicing the 1.5 mile run giving it nearly all I can to gauge how quickly and how comfortably I can do the run that we'll have to do at the RSC. I've generally been getting faster but last night I dissapointed myself and was actually slower than I had been on previous nights that I timed myself. Prehaps down to the small lunch I had?
That's another point - they talk about food being fuel...Do you find you can do less/more when you've eaten a good 3 meal day or when you've had something light before hand and heavier afterwards so you don't feel somewhat 'bloated' beforehand?
As for upper body, I went to Littlewoods the other week to buy a bar that fits in a doorway - now a permenant feature in my bedroom. I use that as well as trying to do 5+ sets of 15-20 pressups, situps (add 5 every other day).
Anyway, good hearing from you mate. I see you're from London - prehaps you'll be sent to Pirbright as well? All the best of luck when you do go mate.
