Didn’t  push at all this week apart from a little in the Friday tempo run. Feel  like I’ve been saving my energy this past two weeks.
I booked flights to Seville from Thursday to Monday around February 15th next year and booked a nice comfortable place to stay, very central and a warm up jog distance from the start.
Will run Brighton HM two weeks later, probably at 1 hr 40’ pace if I’m totally recovered, but a few minutes slower if I’m still stiff and tired. Then the following week I’ll really go for it at Paddock Wood and aim for as close as I can get to 1 hr 30”.
That’s a long way off so happy to keep nudging along for the autumn and gradually build up longer runs towards the end of the year.

I was thinking about running 1hr 40” at Bedgebury HM in three weeks time but I definitely want to go under 20’ at Park Run the day before. I’ll be in good shape then but not sure if that is too much.
