This week is pretty much the last of the heavy training weeks. I completed 18miles today, so the long runs are getting progressively shorter now. 12 miles next weekend and that’s it for the long ones! I am feeling good after today’s run, and finally this week saw the sun coming out. I think that this week was the first time in the entire training plan that I have been able to swap the running tights for shorts. Feels goooood!! And I actually put suntan lotion on this morning… does that mean summer is here?
I was able to go out 5 times this week, with the Easter break helping provide some spare time. Next week I intend to crank that down to 3 runs, as I am now entering the serious ‘taper’ phase. From what I have read, the miles I have put down so far this year are now ‘banked’ and the key is to start to rest more, and start to eat more carbs. So 2 weeks of pasta and Playstation?? Actually more time with my wife and baby boy I think! I can’t wait to only ask of my long suffering wife to have to throw my dirty training gear into the washing machine a couple of times a week!
The fundraising reached a new high this week; we are at 70% of the total (Over £1,400). Amazing responses – so pleased with what everyone has put in and really want to thank each and everyone! It's the final push now! -> http://www.justgiving.com/ian-and-robin-do-london
