On Monday I went for another long run in the afternoon. Fartlek style again but this time the fast sections were 7:40 in length with 3:55 recovery. In total I ran 26 miles in about 3h 25
No running (or any other training) on Tuesday but I spent the day relaxing and buying kit, food, drink, etc needed for next month's Commonwealth Championships.
Wednesday morning was a straight forward long run of 28.6 miles using a section of the Leeds Liverpool Canal between Shipley and Kirkstall. Completed in about 4 hours.
This morning was a 7 mile tempo run along the route of the Otley 10. Completed in 48:54 - a bit slower per mile than recent tempo runs but I'm happy with that because morning runs do tend to be slightly slower than afternoon runs and I did run 28.6 miles less than 24 hours earlier.
Also cycled yesterday and today and did some strength work and stretching every day. No running tomorrow - resting before a week of crash training. In general I won't be able to post much but I will try to provide daily details of exactly what I've been doing. It all begins with a 5k race on Saturday morning - and does now include a 3k race on Thursday because the scouts meeting has been postponed.
