That's the 500 up and I'm on the home run. Less than 500 miles to go and 79 days till race day.
Today was a rep session at lunchtime with the National Grid lads. 6 were out for 5x4mins on and 2 mins off.
They have a 500m loop, so two laps is 1k, if you complete the two loops in 4 mins you;re running 40min 10k.
Rep 1 I followed Will and Rob, they are both sub40 guys so I was surprised to pass them and finish well beyond the 1k mark. Reps 2-4 were a nightmare. I'd clearly shot myself in the foot with a 5.33 paced first rep. The remainder slid towards 6.00 pace and they were painful. I finished each well behind Rob and Will, who got stronger on every rep. Woops.
So after that I was in need of an easy recovery run before dinner. I took off for Coldharbour Lane, up Westfield Road, The Oval, down and up to Roundwood and then round the avenues. It was a 6.4 mile loop all at easy 9min pace.
That's me looking down on Machu Pichu by the way.
