A new record distance at Greenwich yesterday - my plan said 11 miles, I set out to do 12 (6 full laps) but I felt strong at the end so added another small lap to complete 13 miles for the first time, in 2 hours 5 minutes. I was running pretty slowly by the end but to run the race distance two weeks before the real event is a great boost. And a pretty good time too - averaging 9:37 minute miles. On an allegedly fast and flat course in Milton Keynes I might come close to beating 2 hours.
Today a very gentle and stiff-legged 3 mile jog around Dulwich, which, added to a couple of speedy 5 mile lunchtime runs in Hyde Park brings my total for the week to a nice round 26 miles.
Total for the year is now 150.6 miles - well ahead of schedule. In fact at my current rate of progress I'll pass 1000 miles for the year!
