MissingPhoenix Oct 2011 2:13pm, 8 Oct 2011 389 posts	0 MissingPhoenix FR you're a lot more experienced that I am, but to say what I did at berlin, which I think I'll repeat in the future as I felt great on the day Sat before 5 miles @ pmp Sun before 10 miles slow Week before 15 miles spread over 4 runs, or you might describe it more accurately as, not very much! Stay safe this week!
