Wednesday rest day.
I had planned to run a tempo run on Thursday but I felt tired so ran with Mark Higham who was also running a steady one.
Friday rest day.
Saturday did a long run – 20 miles in 2:26:17 – AvHR 145 7:19 minute miles. My target time was 2:30:00 so that was ok. I was feeling quite good at 11 miles so I decided to run from the roundabout on High Common Lane (A614) to Blaxton roundabout (A614) – 3.3 miles length at my planned marathon pace. This is quite flat and boring so I was pleased to have a go and I managed to keep it at about 6:42 minute miles.
Struggled a bit for the last 3 or 4 miles but I kept the pace at 7:15 for the last 2 miles. Drank all my 1.5l of water and took 2 gels.
It was breezy and at times drizzling with areas of standing water.
I am about to loose another toe nail on my right foot.
