Oh look at that, the sun is shining. Think I'll pop out for a marathon.
They've printed my name onto my race number for tomorrow. Contemplating turning it into a hash tag.

Latest Training

19 May → 2 Hours Fastish Long Run (26.52km)

Duration: 02:00:47

Type: Running - Long Run

Notes: I'm experimenting with slightly shorter long runs but doing them at about 30 sec/km slower than goal marathon pace with a relatively hard week before each long run.

Today's run was the first and it was good and I only really started to feel the struggle after about 20km, but I have raced two 5k races this week already.

Great weather out today too.

Oh yes, and my first run in the Inov-8 Road-X-Treme 138s - lovely zero drop minimalist shoe with very little cushioning.Tried these on a whim and I'm glad I have.I've definitely found my new favourite long run and race shoe.
