Friday morning intervals in the sun. A great way to start the day. It was all going so well until cramp kicked in for the last couple.. Doh! 🏃🏼🤘

Out for my first run as a 57 year old and I’m happy with that one. Even after stopping for a double-take of the banner advertising the Northumberland show. That’s not what I thought it said 😂 🏃🏼🤘

First run since Manchester and first Parkrun in a while and I really enjoyed it (despite the state of my trotters 😂) 🏃🏼🤘

That’s the final long run of the plan done and over 500km’s for the year so far cracked. Now for an easy week before Manchester next Sunday… 🏃🏼🤘

Last ‘lung busting’ intervals in this training block, and that’s about the fastest this ‘fat boy’ can run. I’m in awe of anyone who can sustain 4 min/km pace for more than 1km. That felt like sprinting to me. Anyway comparison is the ‘thief of joy’ and all that.. only 10 days til Manchester 🏃🏼🤘

Longest run of the plan (20 miles/32km). A tad toasty out there today and I’m always slower on the trails. 74th out of 263 which isn’t too bad. Still looking like a sub-5hr is possible on the nice flat tarmac of Manchester 😂. Only 21 days to go 🏃🏼🤘

A tempo run for a Thursday, taking me over 400km for the year so far. There’s many more miles left in the tank (hopefully). Only 24 days til Manchester 🏃🏼🤘

At Saturn Running’s Girl Power vs Backstreets Back BYU today. Not my greatest run for sure but managed 25km (5 laps). Not too bad considering I was in road shoes on a muddy trail loop (won’t make that mistake again 🤦🏻♂️). Fun event as always and yet another unique medal. 42 days til MCR. 🏃🏼🤘

Started week 9 of the marathon plan with an easy 9km. Found out when I finished that I’d also finished my Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) 874 mile virtual run. Bonus! 47 days til MCR 🏃🏼🤘
