RE: March 2015
Week 13 of 18

20 miles on road last night, fuelled by jelly babies and 80s party hits. Hard going of course, and today my quads are tenderised, but I managed to finish strongly, covering the last mile in 9:09. On such a crisp, starry night I traded up to ski gloves for the final 5 miles, finally gettingĀ home about midnight. The jelly babies worked well; normally in the last half an hour of a long run my thoughts turn to what to have for my recovery snack, but this time there was no craving vast bowls of steaming porridge. Job's a good 'un.

Because of my disturbingly obsessive comprehensive record-keeping, I can check my times for running this exact route over the years:

2009: 3:10
2010: 3:06 (with an extra 1K on the end!)
2011: 3:10
2012: 3:11
2015: 3:13

So all in all, I haven't slowed down that much. Not sure what I was on in 2010; I checked my diary but there's nothing to explain why it was so much faster.

This week: more hard midweek sessions, then at the weekend it's time to break out the ski mask and woolly hat for 14 miles.
