Saturday, 13th March – 43 days to go

Up early for parkrun. I’d decided to really go for it today, but have had to rein myself in as I’ve entered a twenty mile race tomorrow by accident. I haven’t gone for it since 28th November and haven’t broken twenty minutes since 10th October, but it will have to wait a while longer.

There’s a great turn out and some old familiar faces. Ian is running despite getting injured suspiciously close to his last two parkruns. He’s brought Mungo who is absolutely enormous and he’s also brought me a yoga for runners book which I intend to work through during my taper. Adrian is also running for the first time in a while and it’s a shame I won’t be able to give him a run for his money, but I’ve got to be sensible.

Run round at marathon pace with Ellie who breaks 23 minutes again. New shoes are excellent and will use them sporadically gradually building up to longer runs.

Weight 71.6 kg
Total Mileage 36 miles
Long Run 20 miles
Long Run Pace 8:30
Days without alcohol 26

I’m probably not doing enough total mileage, but I’m so tired after the long runs that I want to rest the legs. Not sure where to go from here. Just get the long runs finished and try to up the intensity on shorter runs during the taper.
