24 miles for me this morning - 65 miles for the week. That's the last of the mega-long runs. Again, due to various commitments, our training group was well dispersed this week so, like last Sunday, I ran it alone. After tearing myself a new groin last Sunday, I ran the first 15 around 12 sec per mile slower this week and also ran them on the flat. As a result I was better able to gradually get the squeeze on for the 6 MP at the end - comes a lot easier when you're not so shagged.
There wasn't a sinner out when I started at 06:45 but the place was thronged with runners from around 08:00 on. Some very tasty groups in action - real speedsters.
All about minding the body from here on in. Ideally two weeks in the 50's mileage-wise, then cut to 30 then 20. Fingers crossed the groin behaves itself..
