The Road To Richmond - 2018

[marathondan]

Don't think it will sort itself out any time soon. It's a case of me managing it carefully to get to the start line. 11 miles last night in decent comfort; today it's a little stiff, but then so are both ankles, hips and knees. This week is a step-back, which means the long run won't be long. Do I take that opportunity to throw a little speed in midweek? I think not. Softly, softly; I'll stick with "junk miles" midweek (maybe "maintenance miles" is a better term?) and erring on the side of less rather than more. If things do improve, I can always step it up later.

I have always relied on the midweek speed sessions to build strength to get me through the weekend long run. Without those, will the long runs become impossible as they get longer? Time will tell...
