As per my training schedule today was a 14 mile run. I set off at an 8.45 per mile pace as i was wanting to conserve my energy but i gradually started creeping above that and at the end of my run had comPleted it in 8.19 pace. I just felt good and did not feel as if i was running fast or particularly pushing myself. 14 miles in a shade over 1hr 56. When you consider that last week 13 miles took me 2 hrs almost exactly it just shows the difference in pace. I felt really good at the end too although the last three quartes of a mile were sore. This run also included my second fastest half marathon time of 1hr 48min 35 secs. My fastest official half is 1hr 47 min 37 so that really puts this time in perspective and that time was after 3 months of a marathon scedule and this was only the end of week 4!!
With only 4 months to go i am bang on target and still no pains. I am supposed to be doing 5 miles tomorrow but ill be too busy so its an extra rest day!!
