MLCM's big week.
Well, that was a week, that was.
5 runs, 48.4 kilometres covered, including 22.6km of mountain climbing over three of the runs (continuously uphill) and a 20km undulating run this morning at better than P2P race pace and only 1 slow run of 13.6km (also uphill).
But I think the week has shown just how difficult the P2P is going to be. None of these runs were easy, and if the P2P is going to be a good one for me, pacing will be the key element. Trying to run at 6:00/km pace for 21.4km up that mountain just isn't going to be sustainable. I know I have the endurance to cover the distance, and the strength to get up the steeper parts, but putting it all together means being realistic with the pace I'm going to set.
That will require some serious thinking.
And maybe some beer.
Four weeks left!
