This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

Twenty-three mile crescendo run

23M am crescendo run

I got up at something to do with five to fit my long run in this morning ahead of other plans. On the positive side, the streets were empty and it was cool enough to let me really go for it. I ran the same route as the last few weeks but with an extra loop in Hyde Park to give me some extra distance. I over-did it and added three rather than two miles, so I ran 23 miles in total.

Endurance at a steady pace isn't a problem now that I've strung five long runs in a row. Endurance at speed is what I need to work on now...

I ran without my Garmin again and just went on effort, but it felt good. The middle (6.15ish miling) third felt good. And through the final third, I felt like I could keep pushing hard and didn't start tightening.

101 miles for the week!
