Weekly summary - 13 weeks to go

I was on leave at home last week so took the opportunity to push the mileage a bit.

82.7 miles!

That's the biggest weekly mileage I've ever done, and during the hottest week of the year too! It was tough though, particularly after the hill session on Thursday: I was very tired on Friday and Saturday. I recovered for the Sunday run though and didn't feel too bad despite the high humidity.

I have another week of living the pro athlete lifestyle, with some big training sessions planned, and then a return to work and perhaps slightly less full-on training!
