I'm going to start running twice a day a few days a week to up my mileage. Initially, I'll do this on easy days and build from there. I think it's called 'doing doubles'. The key is having located a shower at work, so I can run in in the morning without it disrupting my timing. Pret for breakfast.

Doubling up seemed alright today. Both runs felt good. In fact, I had to make myself slow down on both. I'm still full of beans after the post-marathon lull in training. I'm not very sore after yesterday's speed session. My hamstrings and upper quads were a little tight by the afternoon, but nothing dramatic.

No niggles. Other than a general sense of political unease. It all seemed quite exciting when I managed to fit in a tour of Westminster, Buckingham Palace and Whitehall to my evening run. But then reality struck.
