Ian - you may not have felt like mowing the lawn after your run, so you'll be glad you did it.π
Big G - I think you're right, running wise all base building for now will be the most beneficial.

Ian - that's a great long run. Cardiac drift expected when you're well into double digit.
Big G - I have visions of Ian now wearing his Garmin walking up and down the stripes on his lawn to measure the distance π€£
8 miles this morning, nice morning, bit warmer but OK. Had a better run today despite back niggling a little in the last mile.
Saw my collie friend Digger who stopped me and sat on my feet demanding attention.

Went for 7 after work,it felt really tough 9n the legs after yesterday,couldn't get the HR up at all as had no life in them.Happy to box another 1 off though as it's easy to miss those runs sometimes.

That's good Ian. I can't get my HR up either after a long run or race or even a killer session at the gym.
You should be back to normal tomorrow.
I'm not doing any killer sessions at the gym right now. Just light stuff as trying to focus on the marathon that's galloping towards me.

Ian - I'm looking forward to the IOM. I know it's going to be a very tough day for me. I'm expecting that it will be my legs that get me round the first half and my head will get me round the 2nd half.
There will be no taper for me except I'll do one less run in the week before.
I could transfer my entry to the half but I've no intention of doing that.
