W15 D3 – Final long(ish) run

Following recommendations from a few people I shortened my final run to the local ‘classic’ route. The schedule listed 12 miles which most people thought was mentally far and in fairness in that run it’s too late to improve fitness or ability and there is a greater risk of becoming injured and increasing recovery time.

I set out on Saturday am with the camelbak and one spare gel to see me through the run. It was a sunny morning but still early enough to be a little chilly. The run went perfectly, no real issues and stuck to the pace recommended in the schedule. I added the extra 2 mile segment onto the journey resulting in a 9 mile run.

That’s it now for runs over an hour until the big one! Busy week ahead, expo, final massage as well as other bits and bobs. 15 weeks of fairly structured training. Over the next week I hope to write a blog highlighting all I have achieved including the races and hundreds of miles covered.

Until next time.
