14M double; recovery run & speed session
5M am recovery run at 8.30min/M
9M pm including 14x400m at 67-71s off 40s

I was really tired on the run in this morning with Yasmin. Probably down to lack of sleep as much as anything. 4 and a bit hours. (Work deadline.) Bad Richard. Must do better.

But I was back to good form by the evening. This is my first short session at the track in a long time. My splits were even other than the last three. Number 12 was 67 seconds - my fastest (I thought it was my last). I paid the price and 13 and 14 were both 71ish (my slowest). But it was good. I felt much better spring in my stride than 6 months ago and probably better than for more than a year. My body seems to be holding up in the face of high mileage. I have high hopes that, compared to last year's marathons, the build up to this April will include more quality at the same mileage.
