My strategy for Reading appears to be to have no strategy whatsoever. I’m undecided how much I should be running between successive half marathons. Undecided? I just don’t know. Yesterday I thought I’d have a short run today. Today I changed my mind, and had a rest day.
One worry is that I’ve got a very tough day in the garden on Saturday. We have a turf-cutter arriving at 8am and I’m supposed to strip a large portion of the grass, moving it to a pile about 100 yards away. This will be somewhat knackering. The normal way of relaxing after a day like this is to spend several hours in the pub, getting roaring drunk.
This time I’m going to run a half marathon instead.
