Maybe something around 18:45 ought to be doable tbh. I’m gonna have a pop at sub 19 next Tuesday evening. On Sunday I was a last minute call up to our 12 stage team and had an absolute stinker that I can’t really explain. It was pretty humiliating to jog the last km at 7 min/mile pace while others strutted around displaying their Olympic rings tattoos. Fortunately, I think everyone realises that my time at those kind of events is no over. Thank god. Let’s not be put off though and head down for next week!

I have had a sore throat all day and yesterday had some stomach issues so there may be something going on It was a bit blustery and as it was home from work I had a punch round my waist that kept loosening

Onwards! I think putting fence posts in for 6 hours the day before may not have been the warm-up of an Olympian!

Loosely got an 8-week threshold improvement plan in place between marathons, so it would seem like an opportune time to hit this one up again. I'm feeling like I'm in the right ballpark already so...

Perhaps means I left a bit out there but tonight was about getting a good run in. Happy. Now that’s a rarity!
