14M double; recovery run & steady run
7M am recovery run
7M pm steady run
My legs felt shocking at the beginning of my morning run. No energy. No spring. By the end, they felt acceptable but not great. Strangely, they were full of zip by the evening and I ran pretty steadily.
I've decided not to run the Great North Run tomorrow. I lost a week or so of training to the bug I picked up on holiday, so I want to concentrate on high mileage and solid long runs. A shame, but I'll never match the excitement of last year - probably my fondest running memory, meeting Kenenisa Bekele, lining up behind him and then running beyond what I thought I was capable of, sobbing with delight in a heap on the grass at the end, and Yasmin and Hana meeting me off the train at Kings Cross with champagne.
I'll have to nail my long run to make up for it.
