A change of plan to my 12 x 1min hills.
Instead it went 8 x 2min hills [well nearly]

2:03min, 2:06min, 2:03min, 2:01min
1:59min, 1:54min, 1:50min, 1:52min

average recovery at steady pace back down 2:40min

I decided after the first 3, to motivate me further I would post these splits here. So I have & look what it did. I'm really pleased with this session.
I used a well lit cycle path near my home as all the cyclist's still use the road.

Hi all,
had the worst run today since I started in May this year,
Last run was monday, 6 mile, PB...
Today 8 mile as usual on a friday, no energy legs wobbly and had to walk 3 times, (first time in 6 months), I put it down to missing my wednesday run, overeating and drinking, and a bit of a cold.
I feel so down I just couldnt believe it, oh well back to normal next week.......

what: a) Drive to Helsby en famille & familiarise myself with the ½ marathon course.
b) Friday tempo run

why: a) it was looking quite a nice day and with 23 days to go, wanted to see what I will have to face up to. Also set the trip mileometer on the car to get my own idea of where the mile markers should be. (Incidentally, it read exactly 13.1 by the finish - this actually surprised me)

b) was due another hard session.

last hard day: Tue
last rest day: Mon
last long day: Sun

Having seen the course and had another pretty poor outing this evening, I think I'll have to reset my target.
84 mins might still be possible if training goes wonderfully from Sunday onwards and I run the perfect race in perfect conditions (today would have been as near as you could get).
Conversely, if it's any 2 of windy/cold/wet, and I find myself getting isolated from about 7½ miles onwards, where the course starts to climb coming into Mouldsworth, things could go badly pear-shaped....
They did on tonight's run after about 5 miles (32:45 at that point) - began to suffer (as I do occasionally) from "sloshing guts" - when I can hear and feel the contents of my digestive system sloshing around inside me. Basically caused by wind; can require an urgent short notice trip to the loo. That knowledge led to motivation & speed dropping significantly. Reached 8 miles in 53:30 before deciding to call it a day.
Ho hum....
