Ran Bewl. The last three years I have treated it like a Sunday easy run and done it in 2hr 30’ or thereabouts. Yesterday I wanted to push a bit harder and use it as a marathon training run five months out from Valencia. I pushed myself but stayed within my comfort zone. I ran it in 2hr 6’ which isn’t bad. I’d like to have finished ahead of Martin Noakes who was three minutes ahead of me but held back and went for comfort. Maybe next year I’ll go under two hours.
Yes I am planning to run pier to pier and aim to run at about the pace I did Seville marathon earlier this year, so around 7’47”/mile. Hopefully that’s with the wind behind.
It was a warm day so was tired at the end, even dizzy. Great day out with lots of HR Runners.
On Saturday 18 July I am going to the athletics at the London Stadium so won’t be able to do park run on pacers day.
A brilliant time, so congratulations on such a good effort. My only concern would be it does lead us into “overtraining” territory. So if planning on doing something different to the schedule, please do let me know, as then I can tweak one of the other sessions. You have points in the bank so you could actually rest up Tuesday if you wanted? Awesome running though Conal, such a good time around there.
