After the Abingdon marathon, I kind of ended up in another build phase and have been doing more hill/speed work in the weeks since. I’d been so careful in the build to that race that I basically just did a load of zone 2 and just enough speed to be comfortable pushing for sub 3 but was very nervous of injury, so have thrown caution to the wind slightly and went out on a solo time trial this morning to see what it’s done.
Haha, it’s about 9km to VP from Manor Park/Wanstead and then 8 loops and back again.
It’s not actually that bad, as the HM races at the park are 7 loops and a little extra, so this just felt like one of those with the journey tagged on.
