Total km this week will be about 122km which means there would be another 31km to go in one day. !
I had been dreading the Sunday run all week as I intended to run for 6 hours. Didn't get started until just after 10am so it meant a wasted day and my headphones on the ipod failed so was starting to think about excuses. Thankfully my stubborn streak won out and I did the run. I went through the 42km mark in sub 4 hours but felt fine; after 5 hours the felt fine feeling was long forgotton and I was glad it was only another hour to go, physcologically, how do you tell yourself to keep going when there is another 19 + hours to go? Will need to find an answer for this one.

Missed the long run on Sunday as I finaly succumbed to the cold that had start last Wednesday.
Opted for the day off rather than make things worse.

• Sunday 50Km in 4hrs 59min 7s

Reading 'Feet in the clouds' by Richard Askwith again, very inspirational stuff.
Felt fine after the 50km run was very flat and the slight incline there was in it I walked up.
Will look this week for better training run that has more hills for better training without reverting to the Alps.

24 Weeks to Go

• Monday Rest
• Tuesday 1 hr run
• Wednesday Hill Sprints (Over did it legs were like lead after it)
• Thursday 1 hr night run
• Friday 1hr 30mins in torrential rain (like a drowned rat after it)
• Saturday (Missed my run)
• Sunday 42km 4hrs 7 mins (7 laps round the park tracks with small hills)
• Should have run further but ran out of juice (not metaphorically)
  

Walked into the pool after the Sunday run the temp gauge read 7 deg C but it felt more like -7.
Legs feel fine after the run possibly helped by the immersion in cold water but I dont think I will do it again as it was bloody cold!

25 Weeks to Go

• Monday Rest (Well roller blading [Attempting] on the Prom)
• Tuesday 1 hour track through the woods
  
• Wednesday Hill Runs
• Thursday 2 hours 24.8km
• Friday 1 Hour track through the Woods
• Saturday 30 mins of sprints
• Sunday 10km Race (Nice Prom Classic) Current official time 43:59 though I think it still has to take in the start time as I have 43:03 on my watch.
• Also did further 1 hour through the woods at night (Just back)

Quite pleased with the 10k time as I know I could have lost another min if it had not been for the congestion and bottle necks Why they thought it necessary to put all women out 5 mins ahead and to bring 2 roads into one is beyond me.
