Two easy days now before Sunday's race.
5 miles is as much as I can fit into a lunch break so that was the plan today. Doing six 100 metre sprints in the run (often called strides) brought the average pace below 8:00 min / mile so quite fast for an easy run. Strides are supposed to improve your form and give you a chance to get some speed into weary legs without tiring you out too much. They make a change from the general slog of marathon training in any case.
Oh and the rain... February has been ridiculously wet and that is continuing into March at the moment. If I had a pound for every wet run I have done this winter...
