A chance to put some early miles in at marathon pace. On the off chance the weather is ideal Saturday for a quick parkrun we can switch things around and move that marathon session to next weekend. Let me know if you want to do that, I’m always happy to switch things up. Hoping I’ll be at track next week 🤞
