With just about a week to go until the London Marathon this was another chance for a middle length run.
A warm up run of 2 miles down to Wallace Park for the weekly Parkrun 5K.
I took it easy enough on the way down to the park and decided to step up the pace a little bit on the 5K run. I didn't want to go full tilt as I'm not able to sustain a hard pace for 5K at the minute so I aimed at just over 8 min miles.
Official time gave me a time of 25.07 for the 5K so I was pretty happy with that average of 08.06 per mile.
Once the run was done I headed home via a bit of a different route and added another 3.5 miles on. My legs started to feel pretty heavy with about a mile to go but I didn't really care. I know that's just me not being used to going a bit quicker than normal.
Probably only 2 more runs before the big day and even more significantly, my last drink for a whole week!!! Nightmare!
