20 mile test - (13/03)

Well I've not raced for a good few weeks so this weekend a group of about 12 from Stockport Harriers are off up to Trimpell for a 20 mile road race.

for those that don't know the area its a flat course on cycle ways, trails and about 2 miles on road.

The target this year is to beta last years PB (2:16:42) which surprised me at the time as it was sub 3hr pace for the marathon and left me with delusions of grandeur which my body refused to meet !

Pace target this year is 6:50's on the way out and step up to 6:45's if possible on the way back.

Eat, eat and eat again - (01/03)

What wouldn't I give for a cooked breakfast !

I've been staying at Hilton hotels recently with work and the breakfasts look great - but instead of filling myself full of sausage and bacon its been bowls of fresh fruit and bread and jam.

This weeks sessions have all gone to plan as well - even including an extra two miles on the long run (22 instead of 20) - hopefully those two miles wont come back to haunt me come the London Marathon
