I haven’t been doing much running recently. I’ve been doing quite a few miles on my bikes, but have been trying to protect my delicate calves so that I can at least have a shot at the London Marathon. I’ve only managed one or two runs a week for the past couple of months. I abandoned my target of 4 hours for the marathon some while back when I realised training wasn’t going too well, however, with the Silverstone Half Marathon looming I thought I’d better see how things were. So this morning I jogged my 8k circuit twice and managed the 16k in a pretty steady 1 hour 30. My average pace was 5.37 per km, which is well within two hours for the half marathon. And no injuries or twinges! Silverstone, here I come!
