Decide to run at lunch in order to get used to running in warmth; although it’s sunny it isn’t that warm. Just a gentle three mile jog with the last mile at marathon pace. It’s not much of a practice really but it’s good to get the legs moving.
Liz returns in the evening with my race number, kitbag and assorted freebies she’s either blagged or had thrust on her at the Marathon Expo. We then head off for the final distance training session. This one is pub based rather than doing any actual training. We were supposed to discuss the course and what went well and what could have gone better. We end up talking about distance running in general and don’t really get into a feedback session for Mick. I’m sure that the general overview for everyone is that the course went well, met our expectations and that Mick organised it well. The five of us running London find that we’re really six as Nikos is also running. He’s preparing for so many other races it’s difficult to keep track. Quite a few people are interested in working with Steve at Horsfall on track running for distance runners, so it will be interesting to see how that pans out. I’d really like to get my PB for 5k below 19:00 and my PB for 10k below 40:00, so this may be a good way of achieving that.
