Super running SKR.
Hope you got on well Lee.
Windsor HM for me. It’s not a quick course but a course PB of about a minute and in the end only 15s or so outside of a Pb proper. Confidence restored after my crap HM of a couple of weeks ago. Clearly, training works!

1:23:35 for me!
Heavy rain and running against 25/30mph winds meant I wasn't going to PB!
I never felt the advantage I got running with the wind pushing me, was nearly as much as the disadvantage I suffered running against it!
Here are the splits!
1) 1m - 5:52(5:52/m) 122cal 10.22/0mph
2) 1m - 5:49(5:49/m) 120cal 10.32/0mph
3) 1m - 6:27(6:27/m) 123cal 9.29/0mph
4) 1m - 6:44(6:44/m) 124cal 8.91/0mph
5) 1m - 6:53(6:53/m) 123cal 8.72/0mph
6) 1m - 7:41(7:41/m) 125cal 7.81/0mph
7) 1m - 7:13(7:13/m) 121cal 8.32/0mph
8) 1m - 5:48(5:48/m) 120cal 10.33/0mph
9) 1m - 5:51(5:51/m) 120cal 10.25/0mph
10) 1m - 5:51(5:51/m) 120cal 10.26/0mph
11) 1m - 5:49(5:49/m) 120cal 10.32/0mph
12) 1m - 5:58(5:58/m) 119cal 10.05/0mph
13) 1m - 6:47(6:47/m) 123cal 8.86/0mph
14) 0.14m - 54(6:17/m) 16cal 9.54/0mph
At times I felt I was running on the spot!
As for Abingdon, I still think I'll attempt sub 2:55..........
Great running SKR and WW!

Good job Lee, considering the conditions.
Also P&D third edition is out now. The training schedules have turned through 90 degrees, but I 'm sure there will be more substantial changes than that.

that must have been carnage Lee! 2 min / mile difference in splits one mile to the next just because of the wind.
You going to do one more long run ahead of Abingdon? I'm debating. I really wanted to do yesterday's HM as it's a big local event for us and only one mile from my front door but it did occupy the Sunday where I would usually do my last long run. I'd normally do 17 two weeks out. Debating whether to go up to 20 but I suppose the reality is that I'd just be doing that as a number on a training log - there's probably relatively little to gain.

That's bonkers Lee it looks worse than when I did Blackpool in a stiff wind a few years ago. I basically stopped racing and waited for a group in the upwind sections. Your time looks like a pretty good effort in the conditions. Surely worth a minute or two quicker on a good day.
Super runs for WW and SKR too. Looks like there'll be a few decent autumn marathons even if we don't all shine...

WW I'm going to do the big JD session next weekend - about 44 mins of threshold in a 20-miler. Might even do a parkrun the day before too and properly batter my legs. But I'm way short of miles and fitness compared to you. Desperate measures!
