Sub 25 - and beyond!

stopped raining with about 90mins daylight left today, so popped out for a few sneaky tempo miles
aiming for about 8min/M:
7:55,8:02
8:02
8:10,8:25
8:01
8:15
surprisingly good considering I've not done any of these for about 6 weeks

4M "race-pace-practice" along canal towpath at lunchtime:
7:50, 7:55, 8:05, 7:45
not bad following one of my best ever fell-race performances on Sunday

looking good for a sub-1:45 Half-m@r@ next month...

four more yesterday: 7:40, 8:00, 8:00, 7:50 - seem to be getting the hang of it, although need to do a couple of longer (8-10-12M) such sessions before race day...

4x2M last night:
7:50,7:55; 7:55,8:00; 8:00,8:00; 8:20,8:15
last couple bit of a concern - felt strong, but obviously speed fell away slightly
one last training run on Saturday, then an 8 day taper...
