Summary after 'week 2'
33.4 miles - all going well to plan. Excellent long run and motivated work runs during the week. Have to keep an eye on blistering problems but so far, so good. Still can't seem to manage the 'slow run' times, meandering between the more managable 3.45 marathon schedule and that set out for the 3.30 pace.
12.34 m (1hr 41 mins) @ 8.15 p/m
A4040 to Handsworth and canals on return
The calm after the storm. After spending the early part of the weekend hunting out replacement conifors after the midweek battering, I couldn't have asked for better conditions for this weekends long run. An early start, to Sian's dismay, as I was out by 7am, taking in a glorious sunrise over Winson Green, passing the clubbers on the way home. Road ran to Handsworth and in true Mr Ben style, just as I lost the route to the canal, it appeared! Run was excellent, took it steady and enjoyed it. No problem with fitness, but a slight concern with right foot blistering, a large area is now tender - unbroken skin but irritated, especially after about 10 miles. Have to be careful, maybe go for a checkup.
Love the new Garmin especially with the SportTracks free downloadable software - gives every possible statistic on the running performance that any techie geek could ask for!
