Had a day of rest today and yesterday (except for a mile each way each day to the train station as a loosener). Sunday morning took it out of me so I have eased off a little.
I was going to head down to the Harriers club night tonight but tiredness got the better of me and I didn't manage it.
I've now entered the Lancaster Half, and due to other commitments decided not to do the Helwith Bridge Duathlon.
My race plans are now:
Yorkshire Vets Relay Champs 27th September 2009
British Fell Relay Champs 18th October (if selected)
Lancaster Half Marathon 8th November 2009
Abbey Dash 22nd November 2009
Chevin Chase 26th December 2009
Auld Lang Syne Fell Race 31st December 2009
Brass Monkey 24th January 2010
Spen 20 ?? March 2010
London Marathon 27th April 2010
My long run targets, which are almost akin to a race in terms of prep and required recovery are:
September - 18m and 19m (hopefully 12th and 19th)
October - 19m and 20m (prob 11th and 25th)
November - 21m (prob 15th)
December - 22m
January - 24m (prob 10th) and 23 (31st)
February - 22m+ and 22m+
March - 20m+ last long run around mid-march
April - nothing longer than 10 miles!
I want to be averaging 7:10 per mile for these by Christmas!
I've decided that whatever time I run for Lancaster I will then use to calculate my expected London Marathon target time from (using RW race calculator). I reckon if I can get under 1:23 for Lancaster (1 min under my Leeds half time), I have a chance of sub-3 for London.
