Longish intervals, 'cos I only had an hour - 5x1km with 1km recovery.
The times for intervals always mess my stats up though.

Marathon Lads
GER Peterborough HM
Today we ran GER HM in a very quiet 2.07 - It was our 172 nd HM together
The reason we took it quiet, like last weeks ( Kenilworth HM ) is to be in condition for next weeks Abingdon marathon - it’ll be our 6 th marathon this year and ( 31st overall )
What a contrast though in courses and weather - last week, severely undulating, very rural from 1 - 12 miles, all in torrential rain -
Today at GER, it was humid, flat and plenty of spectator support, all along the residential areas
The event itself, I have to say was spot on , I cannot fault it at all - the support was simply quite superb, shame we couldn’t have raced it all out - as it’s real pb material - it was pretty difficult and frustrating keeping holding back on the pace, but I could not afford to mess up next weeks run
It was great meeting friends new and old - We cruised it as planned - time wasn’t really the essence today - just not used to holding back to allow for slow pace,
Of course as easy as today was, it’ll be nothing compared to next week - 26 miles is not to be complacent over - where as a HM you can ( if your know what your doing ) just work your way through
The atmosphere on route I thought of both fellow runners and spectators was just fabulas - but now it’s history, and the road show moves on, as it does every week,
Must now make minor preparations to deal with Abingdon -
Today was basically playful to keep the pschycological and physical cogs oiled - next week will be serious stuff - the gloves will really come off as it where - there’ll be No or very little waiving to anyone, it’ll be head down through the pain barrier
In theory next week
6 miles 52 - ish
HM - 1.52 ish
18 miles 2.40 ish
20 miles 3.00 ish , then hold on for grim life
I won’t be thinking much about it this week, just wait for the gun to go off
I live in hope

Monday 13 Oct 2008
Tonight we went to our local track - we ran non stop for 60 mins around and around - it was real good, very cool, very refreshing - we kept the pace quiet, distance was not important, - Keeping myself in top condition was , I ‘m not even interested physically, it was purely psychological
We ran in semi darkness as no one turned up - they were up in the Cotswold hills training,
Luckily the football courts were lit up next door - it made it fun half in the dark, the hour went so quick it was incredible
So, now I just have Wednesday night’s solo training run with my club before Abingdon FM

Sunday was a nice muddy 2,500 ft, 7.5 miles. Monday was a less nice 6 miles road but with club buddies and good chat! Meant to do it slow, but flippin club mate sprinted the last half mile and that was my recovery stuffed as I dashed off after him like a silly school boy. Doh!

A comfortable 30 mins just to loosen the knees. Better than the one before when I smacked into a lampost and gave myself whiplash - and I can't even sue!
