Ok, so last weekend was the longest run of my current training plan. It was 22 miles and from there on in i’m officailly on a taper until the Snowdonia marathon on 24 October. Basically over the next days i’ll be running less, eating more and generally resting up as much as possible.
I’m running every day this week and next week but complete rest days on Thursday and Friday. I’ll then make way over to the race on the Friday and have a look over the course before heading to the registration.
The run itself went well – just over 3 hours of me, myself and I running. There was a bit of confusion on the route which I think meant that it was over 22 miles bit it’s all good. I used energy gels on the run and have a fair idea at what points along the course that i’ll use them. I also made a few small decisions about what kit i’ll be using on the day. It might not sound too important but if i’m confident about my kit, my fuel, my refuelling on the route then all that’s left for me to have to think about is the run itself.
