I ran from home at 6.45am just to sense the temperature on marathon day. It was cold enough to keep long sleeves on all the way - won't be doing that on Sunday. I'll just have to shiver at the start but the forecast on Sunday is for about 7deg reaching 22deg later in the day and sunny - sounds pleasant.

The run felt comfortable although my hamstring is still niggly. I had my last physio appointment today and on Friday I have a massage which should hopefully ease out the sore bits for the big day.
Thursday
This morning I only had to run an easy run for 30mins. It was cold and windy but it felt pretty strange to run for such a short time. I bought all the bits to put on my personal drink bottles today. There's only three more sleeps! I do hope my hamstring holds out for the race.

Hi Strewth! Very best of luck for Sunday. I'm looking forward to hearing about a record-breaking PB! (Miranda)
ReplyDelete5:47 per km! You never run that fast with us. Are we slowing you down?
ReplyDeleteArgh! Only 1 day 11 hours to go! Hope the hammy does the right thing. See you on the weekend.
