As the challenge comes to an end, you may have noticed I have gone back to three mile runs. There are two reasons for this, one is that with my long run mileage increasing at the weekends in preparation for Athens, keeping five miles a day going is unsustainable given my proclivity for a nice shin splint.
The other is that, even if I run just three miles a day for the next 16 days, even without the long run, I’ll still meet my revised mileage total of 1,500 miles. (Which by the way, me taking on raised a whole extra £30 for my charities, I know we’ve just come out of recession but…).
Anyway, heading back to the three mile limit means I am rediscovering some of my old three mile routes around Streatham that I was doing regularly but haven’t ran for the last three or four months or so…
Along with the marathon training on Sundays, it really feels like I have gone back six months in time to when I was training for Brighton, limping around three mile routes in the week and then doing the long runs at the weekend. At least the weather is a bit better this time around.
