The London to Bath and Back record.

In 1981 John Woodburn set the Road Records Association Record for London to Bath and back. He covered the 211 miles in just 9 hours, 3 minutes and 7 seconds. A time so formidable that it has stood for over 28 years unchallenged. This my training blog as I attempt the break the record.

Change

Can people change? I think so, but it rare and it takes something big.
I was having lunch with the local Minister, not because I'm in any way religious but as a friend. He believes in Heaven and Hell which doesn't come as any surprise, but he also believes that if everyone believed in Hell, the world would be a better place, becasue people would all change for the better.
A  fair hypothesis, but look around you at the selfishness we encounter everyday, and then look at ourselves. We all accept that we have a problem with landfill sites, rubbish, pollution. We know people are staving in many countries around the world. Yet, we still carry on regardless.
With this attempt I am seeing myself change, I've never been so dedicated to one goal before. However, despite having been told repeatedly, training harder and longer isn't always better, when my training plan was late I slipped back into my old ways. High intensity high volume. I even knew I was doing it.
I'm feeling quite strong at the moment, but so far to go.
I'll expand this post when I have more time.
