The Road to Richmond

[marathondan]

12 mile step back LSD this morning. Have decided this is my favourite run of the entire training programme. Nestling between 19 and 20 mile long runs, it's a distance that would have been daunting 4 months ago, but now the prospect of it provides pleasant relief. And so the run proved to be, a calm and measured morning trot around damp fields and woodland, comfortably around race pace. As it happened, I ended up completing exactly a half marathon, due to some lap miscounting. On the audio was the second half of the Keep On Running piece, which turned out to be excellent. Worth keeping on the hard drive and trotting out again in future I think - three-hour radio programmes on running don't come along very often. I have an mp3 if anyone would like it.

And so I enter Peak Week.
