One of the runs I enjoy the most in the P&D plans are the general aerobic medium distance runs. These can be run at a fairly leisurely pace and are never more than 10 miles so leave you feeling energised afterwards. Sadly the high mileage plans have less of them and more MLRs or recovery doubles.
So today was a rare chance to start the day with an easy 8. I decided to practice the easy heart rate I will be targeting in the first 6 miles of the marathon tomorrow and was happy to see a HR of 126 - 128 giving sub 8 minute miles.
At least one local race that was supposed to happen tomorrow has been cancelled due to the heavy rain this week (causing a flooded car park) but my marathon is still on touch wood. And the conditions look very nice - cold but dry and not windy. Bring it on!
