thanks to this sundays half marathon stepping in and messing up my training week already (it is on my lsd which is meant to be a 16 miler) and then swapping rest day to tuesday this weeks training is a little chaotic.
I did my strength drills on weds (6x1mile,400m recovery) and yesterday was meant to be 8 mile tempo plus 2 miles w/u c/d but as sundays race counts as a tempo effort run (well it does on the hansons plan at least) I ran 11 and a bit miles at easy pace instead but I still have a bit of a deficit on this weeks mileage (also meant to be the longest so far at 54miles) so tonight's my third 10+ miler on the trot, then 4 miles easy to loosen up tomorrow and hopefully I'll be in decent shape come sunday for the half (that's basically a taper right?).
given I ran my first half distance the other week and finished on a 7:23 min/mile I'm not too fussed about the pace will see how it goes and try not to knacker myself in the first half of the race.
