I've been running at the peak of my fitness - best ever! This is the best preparation I've ever had for a marathon. The only trouble is I've been completely paranoid the last couple of days, convinced I've got a sore throat - the sore throat seems to get better instantly the moment I leave work for home. Stress? I have been working very hard lately, and letting it get to me. I'm settling down now though and getting back on top of things. Just a few more days to stay healthy!
| Monday | Rest | Massage | |
| Tuesday | 8 miles | Steady run 80%MHR-ish | Felt great! |
| Wednesday | 5.2 miles | Easy recovery | |
| Thursday | 7.5 miles | Ran the club handicap race as 3 (and a bit) 1-mile reps | Fastest reps ever - kept overtaking the other (fast) runners! |
| Friday | Rest | Hadn't intended a rest, but work got in the way! | |
| Saturday | 7 miles | middle 5 at marathon pace 8:00/mile 141bpm 81%MHR | |
| Sunday | 13 miles | Slow run 9:06/mile 123bpm 71%MHR | Fastest ever 'slow' pace |
| Total | 40.7 miles |

Looking strong Susie!
Hope you can keep work pressure away for the remainder of the week and try to relax towards the race.
Good luck!
Enjoy your taper and the race.
Watch out for stray dogs ;>)
Good Luck!
