Got my number for the race this week. I will be in the green starting pen. 11 000 people is an awful lot of people. I wonder how difficult it will be to get going this year?
This was a fairly low mileage week due to not being able to run as much as I would have liked.
Tuesday went up to the track with a bottle of water for the heat so that I could do lots of 400m intervals. Did 5 at a reasonable pace (6:40, 6:41, 6:47, 6:48, 6:18) then needed a drink. Madam had drunk it all!!! I couldn't do any more in the heat so had to come home again.
Wednesday went out and did LSR - 13 miles - last long one before the race.
Friday did 20 min tempo, but it was too slow. Average 7:26 for the 20 mins. Still not eating or drinking enough to keep the pace up and the hills are wiping me out. I am going to have to do more hill sessions before September.
Saturday evening went out and did 5 miles at an easy pace. Average 7:55. Felt good.
Total mileage for this week only 32.98, but it could be seen as a taper for next week.

- I am an amateur runner using running to keep fit and well. I have been running on and off since Summer 2003 and have been training seriously since October 2007. I have noticed a big improvement in both the distance I am able to run and the times I can achieve. I completed my first marathon in 3:41:44 (Edinburgh 2009) and qualified for a good for age place for London 2010...
