16 October 2006 - Night-O and Ardingly
Last Thursday Paul and I had another training session. That makes it 3 weeks out of 4, so perhaps it's not too bad. We started off in Hove Park as I wanted to check the permanent orienteering course posts were still in place ahead of a schools event tomorrow. It soon got dark and the session turned into night orienteering, Paul with the torch, and me scrabbling around in the undergrowth. Goodness knows what it must have looked like :)
After that we ran back through the park past the boys and girls enjoying being 'motivated' by the ex-army trainers on their £10 a head British Military Fitness session. We jogged back to Paul's and picked up Edward on the way there. On Paul's blog I noticed that he was complaining that I had suggested that he was the most unfit person I knew that was preparing for the half-marathon. But hey, c'mon, where's the big surprise?? We did 4 miles in an hour for the second session in a row.
On Sunday I drove out to Ardingly Resevoir and met up with Off The Fence supporter Ray Smith and we ran the length of the resevoir 4 times. The total length was 8.58 miles in 78 minutes. I think that gives a pace of about 9.1 minute miles which I would definitely settle for over the marathon distance. Felt pretty good at the end of it. Ankle was fine for the first 7 miles and then it wasn't too bad. It has certainly improved in the last fortnight, so there must be a good chance I will get round the marathon without the injury affecting things too much.
Twelve days to go before the big day and no more long training runs. I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
