Today was a 'tempo' run.  5 miles @ 7:49 pace.  Wasn't too bad at all, so the training is obviously working as a month or so ago I'd have struggled to run that at 8:10 pace.

Even the hills weren't as evil today...

I dsay a book advertised that I fancied reading. "Born to run" by Christopher McDougall.

If you buy it, can I borrow it when you've finished?

A third of the way through this, and so far not too impressed at all.  Will read the rest and then write a short review.  It might improve dramatically...

I am that.  I'm worried though, you lose any more weight, you'll need a whole new wardrobe!

Nah, I haven't bought any new clothes since I was 18. I was slim then, so this just means they'll fit properly again.

Yesterday I was planning on doing my long run for the week, but didn't get to bed early enough - so instead did my 'tempo' run, which was 5 miles @ 7:39 pace.  Getting easier, but still far from 'easy'.

So this morning was the long run.  Got up at 5:30 and and an energy bar thing, a drink and then went out for a little over 3 hours - about 20 miles.

My legs hurt.

Tempo run today - one mile warm up at easy pace (8:49) followed by a mile @ 7:14 pace, one minute recovery, then repeat another two times, then a mile recovery at easy pace.

Something wrong with me today, and felt full of running.  So did the three miles @ 6:27, 7:13, and 6:46 pace. 

Long run tomorrow - 15 miles @ 8:45 pace (MP+45).
