Finished a solid week of runs with a punishing fell race and I’m about as ready for London as I’m ever going to be.
Went away camping this week so while I had grand plans of getting out most days and exploring a little of the local trails in Northumberland it just didn’t happen.
This was supposed to a nice easy week in a 4 week cycle so fairly low mileage but a race on Monday and full effort parkrun gave a good feel for where I’m at with London only 3 weeks away.
After a solid week last week I was able to build on it this week with the main aim of getting in a long run at marathon pace.
Knee is still a little delicate when warming up but it’s definitely improving and a decent and varied week under the belt for the first time in a while.

Knee was incredibly sore this week following the Grizzly so pretty much all rest with a local race on the Sunday.
