I think this plan has been a massive success. The key now is just to go out there and execute. Not to suddenly get any ideas, “what if I just went off at this pace”. Trust the training, stick to the pace you’ve been working at and this should go well. You’re such a strong runner and I think this could be the catalyst to quicker marathons in the future. The most important thing is to enjoy it. There’s a small chance I may come down with yourself and Lucy and run 13-14 miles. Will just depend what happens between now and Saturday really. Any issues pre race or if you just want a chat, feel free to drop me a message. But really well done on such a brilliant training plan, you smashed it. Good luck Chris.

Should feel relatively comfortable this, but always good to get some extra miles in at goal pace.

We’ve made it. So exciting. The biggest mistake is going off too fast, know your pace and stick to it, even if it feels super easy. You’ve trained well, now just go and execute. Best of luck.
