5 weeks to go
Apr. 11th, 2010 09:49 pmShorter walk this weekend, to work on speed a bit more.
8.5 miles in 123:23 => 14.5 min/mile
Jolly satisfying over that distance. I was able to eat a sensible meal shortly after finishing too. Going to work on eating plenty of carbs this week as I've another 16-mile to do next Saturday. I am so pleased that 8 miles is now something I can do without much difficulty. I think that longer-term (After The Marathon) I'd like to keep up a habit of doing 8-10 miles at least once a week.
Very few timed sprint walks last week, with one thing and another. Just one that I remembered to note, which was 23:15 => 14.2 min/mile. Satisfactory but nothing to shout about.
