Yes, I did. Will write up a 'review' in a bit - maybe later today. |

Today's run was speedwork (for me anyway).
10-min warm up at 8:49, followed by 3 sets of 2x1200m @ 6:39 with 2min recovery, then 10 min cool-down.

A 'short' long-run this week - 13.1 miles - otherwise known as a half-marathon.
Target pace for today's run was 8:20 (MP+20), but managed to do it in 1hr 46m = 8:15 pace.
8 weeks to go now (give or take) and I'm definitely feeling the improvement, but still a fair bit of work to do if I'm going to get close to my target times.

you're doing great mate...take some time off. I'd say you deserve a month's rest |

Short-short run today, only 5 miles. Schedule says to do it at MP (8:00), but where's the fun in that? So I did it at 7:20 pace and that felt good. Getting warmer though, and it was over 9° this morning and I definitely prefer running when it's colder, preferably under 5°.

So anyway, this run of just over 4 miles is taking me about 34 minutes @ about 8m/mile pace, and it's tough.
Some improvement then  |

Did a short/quick run yesterday evening. I'm in France this week at Lyndsey's mum's house in the middle of Normandy. Tomorrow is a 20-miler, nice countryside to run in - so sort of looking forward to it (a bit).

Today was a 10-mile run @ 7:45 pace. It's still nice and cold first thing, but soon it's going to be a lot warmer and it does make quite a bit of difference. Unlike the bald one, I'm hoping for a chilly 17 April this year  |

If there is a God it will be 30 degrees on April the 17th. If it's not at least 30 degrees he's a twat...unless he strikes Kin down just before the finishing line |

YW. lolz at Fahrenheit. I was actually going to specify Celsius but then I thought "Nah, Kin won't be that pedantic". Should have known better. |
