Thanks everyone. Surprised myself tbh. I haven't been following any structured training plan since Thames Trot, just trying to get the long weekend runs in over the summer. The make it up as you go along training plan!
No idea what's next but think I'll need to reinstate the long interval/tempo sessions into the weekly routine. Just got to ease them in to avoid injury. Definitely need more core work too as my stomach muscles were hurting - not enough to ruin the race but enough to notice. Confused me for a bit thinking it was a digestive issue until I realised it was muscular fatigue type of pain.
Oh and I didn't say about my feet when I took my socks off... I thought I was looking at horrifically bruised toenails but fortunately it was just mud!
