It wasn't without its problems because my legs were feeling a bit iffy by Friday - a tight left soleus and hamstring. This was either a knock-on effect from the hard week previously, or could have been due to me breaking in new orthotics on the 15-miler on Wednesday. Whatever the reason, it all seems to be OK now.
I seem to have recovered OK from the Meon Valley Plod, maybe helped by wearing the Skins during the race, so onwards and upwards - Bramley 20 next Sunday as part of another big mileage week, then I'll take a recovery week to prepare for the Mad March Hare 20.
