Tenth Anniversary and No Long Run

Celebrated 10th Wedding Anniversary with function at Must Wine Bar, fantastic night, ended up having more booze than intended, ended up in bed at 3.30am and so no long run on Sunday.

Bit disappointed with not doing a longer run but then how often does 10th wedding anniversary come along and had a really great time, so I suppose I can live with that.

Will do 2 longer type runs this week, Mon to Sun, in fact just got home from 22k run but will include that in next weeks blog

Week in Summary 52k Average Pace 4m45s.

Did 5 runs during the week.
Tues 14k500m 1h8m30s
Wed 8k500m 43m recovery
Thurs 7k 35m really struggled, tummy felt a bit funny
Fri 15k 1h5m incl tempo run of 10k 42m20s
Sat 7k 35m42s recovery

Really happy with Fri tempo run, really felt in the zone and felt it was quite easy, did last k in 3m55s just for a bit of variety and speed. Found tempo running a lot easier when listening to music and have started using the ipod again for longer running, not sure whether this is a good thing or not but as long as I clock up the k's then I suppose its ok.

Don't think I'll be able to do full 6 inch run due to Family commitments but may come along and run with Epi for a bit if I get a chance to lend some support, will obviously run it by him first.

Looking forward to do a week of around 80k this week.

Given your base, no need to worry about missing a single long run. Nice tempo run. That's the right way to do it - steady for most of the duration and only pick up the pace in the last k.

Thats an impressive tempo - nice speed to have at the beginning of your marathon buildup(in fact all your paces are pretty impressive right now)

Would be great to have you along for part of the SixInch - we can liaise closer to the day
