Long run with 1m at target MP


Pre marathon training starts here then, 1mile at target marathon pace feels strangely hard - how on earth am I to attempt 26.2 of these?

Well, just slightly over intended marathon pace but with over 14 weeks to go that was a good run. Difficult one to come on Wednesday.

And a suffer score of 114 and 19 in the red - that'll be for the hills since we didn't need too much threshold running.

3 Counties Cross Country - Bedford

Wasn't going to do any cross country races this season but having been asked I found no reason to say no. This is a particularly tough course and is much longer than the usual races. It's was the last one of this season and the first to be held at Sharnbrook Upper School.

Main issue for me was lack of racing - it seems that I've forgotten how to race. It was a hard course, some hills but the rutted tracks and paths, along with significant amounts of bad weather made the going difficult; same for everyone though.

First three miles my lungs were at bursting point  but after that it seemed to get better - tried to push on but there was nothing more to give today.

61st place - can't ever remember being that far back. Never mind, there's always another time and that's one race more to being race-fit.

Todays suffer score  - 111 with 43 points in the red.
