I decided to do a self exploration for my Extended Major Project. I competed in the Bournemouth Bay Half Marathon on the 7th of April 2013 so went about recording my preparation for this.

I Japanese stab bound all the books myself using shoelaces.

 

The book is aimed at first time runners. I have documented my journey by pulling out all the areas I felt needed to be shared with people. I injured myself early on in training so I hope my story would prevent others from doing so as well as giving them an insight into the technique they should be using. I am definitely not the perfect runner and I am still learning, however I feel that the technique I now use will prevent me for getting injured again.
