20 miler

Total for week = 77M

Today: 20 miles am (including Thames Hare & Hounds session) 3.46 min/k through 4.15 min/k

Legs felt tired, for sure, given yesterday's effort. Ran out to Robin Hood Gate to intersect the Thames Hare and Hounds session, before the usual Riv. Thames route finishing with a further lap of Richmond Park. This brought the 2 day total to 43 miles, but with some reasonable speed in the bank.

Significant dehydration on getting back to Kew and temp. kicked up a bit. Still training with tights on, "train heavy and race lilght"... and all that. Figuring in the body can cope with it in training, then shorts and vest in the race will seem like air con.

Quite pleased with the total mileage for the week given it was largely 'recovery' and 'easy' post the Finchley last week. Aiming to go up over 100 this coming week.
