Everything went to plan last week except for the reappearance of snow on Wednesday! A great session at distance training on Thursday, a steady run with club on Friday, another 10 + mile run on Saturday with Lisa & Jo and the Dewsbury 10k on Sunday. The little hiccups inbetween are now a distant memory, the long slog all the way up Hollings Hill, sampling carb gels which were positively horrible as I continue the battle of working out how to fuel my increase in mileage (I'd lost 4 1/2lb when I got on the scales midweek), going out Saturday night and not getting home until the small hours then having to get up at 6 am to be in Saltaire for 7.15 to get to Dewsbury for the 9 am start - at least that's what I'm telling myself!
The start of week 5 on the training plan and I'm now feeling really positive as I've got the races I had entered out of the way and can stick to my training plan more rigidly. Now looking forward to being able to get back to Saturdays being rest days and long runs on Sundays - two more races of 20 miles and 17 miles will not be anything like races as these are intended to assist in raising the mileage nearer the marathon distance.
