Without a race in prospect my training appears to be going sdrawkcab - backwards.
Before the Bristol Half Marathon my regular 6.5 mile runs were all under 1 hour.
Fastest was 57min 26secs.
The 10.4 mile long runs were 1 hour 42min.
The race produced a Personal Best time.
Or Straining?
Since then: rest, holidays, eating and drinking, have taken priority over running.
My 6.5 mile runs have all taken more than 1 hour,
and my 10 mile run was 10 minutes longer than before. But that was on a very hot October day when I should probably have been resting in the shade.
In order to improve a stronger Will is needed.
But preferably not a Wills Whiff
Mile Eater Meter
Today I did my monthly 1-mile time-trial for October.
Time of 7min 24 secs was only 1 sec slower than in early September - and against a stiff headwind.
Puffed a bit.
Statistics
For those who love numbers - here are my September and October runs.
