Just a tad excited about tomorrow :)
Tapering has been well and truly done this week. Only 23 miles. At least my legs will be fresh for tomorrow. I have been making sure I eat properly the last few days and drinking ridiculous amounts of water too! Pasta party tonight.
So what training have I been doing this week then?
Sunday - about 7 miles in bits in between watching little madam in her piano concert. It was meant to be an increasing speed, but I just couldn't get into it properly.
Tuesday - 3 x 0.75 miles intervals. Pretty pleased with my pace and heart rate too (6.40, 6.45, 6:36 avg pace). It felt very comfortable too. This was my last interval session before Sunday.
Wednesday - ran home from school. Too impatient to wait for Garmin to locate satellites and had done about 2 miles before it found them. Got back in about an hour which I was pretty pleased with. The hill up York Road was good. I found it fairly easy - my pace didn't drop much and I felt fine when I got to the top.
Saturday - Just over 4 miles easy pace. This felt very comfortable. I just needed to remind my legs how to move after two days rest.
Now I just have to get there tomorrow, eat early enough, not get too cold in the lovely June weather, drink plenty, not ned to go to the loo half way through the race, not run out of energy, not set off too quickly. Oh yeah - RUN FAST and ENJOY IT!!!
