We've had another little flurry of donations, and each one of them is greatly appreciated. Every penny will be used to support the good work of Brathay Hall Trust with groups of disadvantaged young people - and, incidentally, when we popped into Brathay Hall a few weeks ago and looked at the displays in the entrance foyer, we were impressed by just how much the organisation gets involved with the real challenges facing young people in urban areas.
Leon and I had another good training week last week, with the highlight being our unexpected trip to the Adidas Silverstone Half-Marathon on Sunday for our first forays into official pacing. We both had a good run. Leon paced to perfection, and I didn't perform too badly. I am so pleased with my "Runner's World Pacer" shirt that I shall probably wear it for one of the ten marathons :o)
Last week's numbers:
Total mileage: 80.76 miles. A relatively light week, then!
Profile: 79.6% general training runs, average 9.26mm.
16.6% Silverstone Half-Marathon, average pace 8.43mm.
3.8% running with Catriona, average 10.24mm.
Longest run: 13.54 miles at 9.01mm.
Longest day: Sunday. We did another 8 miles in the evening after the race.
Cross-training: None.
Niggles: None.
Sofa-spud days: Saturday.
We expect to have a heavier week this week. We hope to run Rhayader on Saturday and Ashby on Sunday at our planned 10 Marathons in 10 Days pace on unrested legs.
From next week, we'll need to be slightly more organised about training as I've taken on another two mornings' work a week. Working half-time is all very nice, but it can't go on forever.
