...and so to the last 2 weeks post IOW. It's all feeling remarkably good. I feel so much better than after Boston. I even did a hard speed session last Thursday, only 11 days after the marathon - I've never felt good enough to attempt that before!

Monday	Rest
Tuesday	Rest	am: Massage
Wednesday	4.3 miles	Easy run	Some adductor tightness afterwards, but felt remarkably fine!!
Thursday	Rest	Sat out and spectated the club short handicap race
Friday	5.2 miles	Easy pace	can't believe how much better I feel than after Boston!
Saturday	Rest
Sunday	7 miles	Easy club run	Adductor tightened a bit on a fast downhill section, but OK afterwards
Total	16.5 miles
Monday	4.5 miles	Easy run	Feeling quite tired, perhaps understandably
Tuesday	6.4 miles	Club run, keeping it controlled sub-marathon pace.	Felt hard but last mile was 7:35 for only 132bpm - a pace breakthrough?
Wednesday	5.4 miles	Easy run	Windy!
Thursday	6.4 miles	Intervals! 10*300m @ 3k 6:24 + 5*100m sprint	Ran the session against the garmin - tricky to get the pacing right - better to do it by feel. Surprised by the pace of the last sprint! 5:18/mile, although actually about 600m pace on MacMillan so not as fast as I first thought
Friday	5.1 miles	Easy pace 9:02 119bpm	Hot!
Saturday	6.2 miles	Easy run	Hot and hilly Shropshire countryside
Sunday	11.5 miles	Steady run	Even hotter and hillier Shropshire countryside - temp pushed my HR up higher than i should have let it go - over 130bpm for 2nd half
Total	45.5 miles
