2 x 10 = Jelly legs!

Hi all! Things progressing quite nicely here, I had a great last week and was ready to break a PB when out of nowhere the snow started to fall, thus spoiling my chances for a run on Sunday.

I therefore felt this week, that it would be good to make up for some lost time. I decided to do 2 consecutive days of 10 mile runs. Both felt great and I actually felt like I had more left in my legs for both of them! I did a 10.7 and a 10.3 mile run in the same time (1h 49mins) as the 2nd run I was running with my running buddy at a bit of a slower pace for 4 of the miles.

Combined I therefore had 2 days, 21 miles in 3h 38mins and over 3000 calories burned. I am determined to smash this marathon. My plan is now to not run until Sunday and go for broke - 20 miles. It will be the longest run I do before the race. Wish me luck!
