Today was an 8.5km run down to Holbury and back. I did the run in 56:13 at a pace of 6:36/km. Nice to be out in just a base layer for the first time in 2017.
This takes me to 151.1km for 2017 which is a nice milestone to pass.

6th March Training Run
Today was a grey day but I got out and did a 11.0km run. In honour of Jon’s new Porsche 911 I wore a matching top!!!!
I managed it in 1:17:15 at a pace of 7:00/km. I mucked up the hydration and so ended up popping into The Heath for a lovely pint of tap water which added several minutes to the time. I was pleased that even with that pit stop I still managed to average 7 minutes per kilometre. Also I achieved my 2nd best 1 mile effort at 9:03.
50 days to go …
Absolutely no need to panic but….

28th February Training Run
Tonight I managed an 8.5km run in a time of 55:33 with a pace of 6:31/km which I was really pleased with.
26th February Training Run
Today has been freezing cold, windy, and full of driving rain. So what more would you want to do with your day than run 10km?
I managed 10.2km in 1:12:32 at a pace of 7:04/km. During the run all three base layers that I was wearing got soaked through from the rain so I was glad to finish!
I was really pleased with my more consistent pace for the first 5.5km, I now just need to keep practicing to be able to manage that for the other 36.7km of the marathon!!!!
24th February Training Run
Today saw beautiful sunshine, but unfortunately I couldn’t get out for the run until the sun was setting. However it was lovely and warm for a February run, even if the sun did set before I finished my 5km. I completed the 5km in 34:49 at a pace of 6:58/km.
This run took me to 53km for February.
16th February Training Run
Nice to see some sunshine and feel warm on a run again! Today was a simple 5km run in 31:48 at a pace of 6:21/km.
I went off too quick, but managed to get a few personal bests:
- Best estimated 1k effort (5:14)
14th February Training Run
Today’s training run was lethargic and slow but still 6.6km covered. I took 54:18 with a pace of 8:10/km which was as much walking as running.
