Matt Wingate<p>I managed to hold my target marathon pace for 4 sets of 5km. The last couple were increasingly difficult, so I doubt I can hold it for a full marathon in 3 weeks.

fakA slightly different <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrunsandwich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkrunsandwich</a> this morning as it had no <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> in it as I was on run director duties. It looked lovely, but there was a brutally cold wind that chilled us all during our volunteering, and turned out to be a headwind all the way home. <br>

fakLegs still a bit sore from Thursday's squats, and yesterday's marathon pace long run session. But it was a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrunsandwich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkrunsandwich</a> morning to go and celebrate a couple of friends 400th <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> and get that mileage in. I thought the time would be slower that it was as I was taking it nice and easy, aware I still had 4 and a half miles to run home after some snacking and chat. Some light partial eclipse viewing afterwards. Over 25 miles in about the same number of hours. <br>

fakQuestioning my life choices again this morning. A road half marathon without the benefit of musical distraction (the country roads remained open to traffic), with a late start due to the massive queues for the too-few loos. Already grumpy because I found a crack in my car's windscreen, went off too fast. Until we hit the back of the 20-mile race (which started a mile and a half away, effectively) I was running mostly on my own. I thought I had died a little towards the end, but there's only really one bad mile split in there. <br>
<br>
Finished 5th lady and 2nd V40 (but got the V40 prize as 1st V40 was second lady). <br>
<br>
Hamstring now very tight, but didn't explode. Definitely not going to try and pick it up and try for a time at London. <br>
<br>
62.52 miles (100.63km) for the week, with 9 at 3:19 marathon pace, and (6+13) at half marathon pace. 5 weeks to go. <br>

Doomstrike<p>That felt pretty tough, but j guess I'm ~10k off marathon distance.<br>I see a lot of plans recommend 20miles as longest run, but for me, that would mean an extra hour of running into the unknown on the day of the marathon, so I'm going to try aim for 23 or 24 in training, to be confident I have the legs to finish<br><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/firstmarathontraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firstmarathontraining</span></a> <br><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/runnersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>runnersofmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/MarathonTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarathonTraining</span></a> <br><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garmin</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/beatyesterday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beatyesterday</span></a></p>
fakFirst bike ride of the year (I'm a fair weather cyclist) cycling out to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> and back (it turns out that having an appropriate amount of air in both tyres makes it considerably easier to cycle). I had forgotten how cycling breaks me for running, so everything hurt on a deliberately easy-paced run ahead of racing tomorrow. Look at those bars though (let's not mention how the first half is uphill, and the second half is back down again). <br>

fakTokyo marathon done and six-star journey completed. It turns out that even if you run a marathon 'easy' it's still quite hard. <br>
<br>
Average temperature during training: 4°C (39°F). Temperature at start of marathon: 12°C (54°F).<br>
<br>
Super congested at the start, which continued for at least the first 4k (2.5 miles) where I nipped off course for a comfort break. As with many big city marathons it suffers from lots of runners failing to follow race etiquette (weaving, cutting across, suddenly stopping, walking in the middle of the route) and I'm not sure arranging the drinks stations by bib number was a fantastic help. They tended to appear all of a sudden on only one side, too. Paper cups, but filled less than half, so I started taking two per station to try and keep hydrated.<br>
<br>
Managed to keep to 3:30 pace for the majority of the run, fading in the last 8k (5 miles) which had no shade at all. Stopped completely at the final few drinks stations (off to the side, out of the way) to get on fluids. No point in doing unnecessary damage with London 8 weeks away.<br>
<br>
Didn't walk at all (I thought I might have to at some point with the heat), and picked it up for the final stretch on the cobbles. Official time 3:35:29.<br>
<br>
Medals and finisher goodies collected, then back to the hotel for a nice hot bath before popping back to the charity lounge for light snacks and thanking them for my place. Then used the voucher they provided for some fries and a strawberry milkshake to take back to the hotel to start the refuelling process.<br>
<br>
A shame about the weather, but you can't do anything about it. At least the photos should turn out well. It's going to be 7°C (feels like 4°C) and raining tomorrow. <br>
<br>
Finishes the week with 48.8 miles (78.55km) run.<br>

fakWell that was worryingly warm, and an hour earlier than race start tomorrow. Alright in the shade and breeze, but hot in the full glare of the sun, let's hope the course is shady (or I can find shade).
