A decent weekend session completed. Friday night thrash around the field comprising 90 sec intervals, many of which came in under 7min pace - encouraging and satisfying. Saturday morning, ran to Windsor, a shade under 7 miles, which must be the furthest I've run for nearly 2 years. Mostly on road, but all felt good the following day (and road running is so much easier than off). No time for a third session on Sunday, but consistency, progress and most importantly enjoyment are all good. 7 miles is not so far off 10, which is not so far off a half marathon.
Track du weekend - I went back to the Marathontalk podcast after an absence of a couple of years. It does contain a lot of inane banter, but it's designed to keep you company on your long run, so that can mostly be forgiven. A lot this week on the
Nike Breaking2 project, and whether their shoe design will lead to a have / have not situation like the elite swimsuits of a few years ago. Plus tributes to the remarkable
Ed Whitlock.
