Slight change to the running week based on weekend plans means I changed the 15 miler for the 13miler from next week's plan, but boosted the mid week 6 miles to 8 to compensate.
4 miles on treadmill which included a 20.55 5k which is a PB (mid life PB not real PB which is about 18 minutes when i was 18!). Felt good and could have gone harder.
8 miles tempo run comfortably in 1 hour.
13.1 miles on the Berko half marathon route in 1.37.33. A new course PB by over 4 minutes and only 25 secs off my half marathon PB. I had planned to run in steady 8 minute miles but used the Garmin which always makes me work harder so changed the plan to 7.30 minute miles which I achieved. Felt tired at the end but had more in the tank, and had eaten zero food or drank any water before or during the run. I had hoped to run the Berko half (in March) in 1.32.00 which seems like a long way off time wise but i am fitter than ever and have 3 weeks good training before the taper so should hope to be in the 1.33-1.34 area.
