Saturday 20th February - Rest Day
Sunday 21st February - 33.3km Run
Longest Run Ever. After the previous Sunday's half-marathon success, time to up the mileage toward the marathon distance. I went out intending to run 30km+ but with no specific target in mind. The first 25km was comfortable but beyond that it was a real struggle. I stopped the watch 1km from home and walked back, I had no energy left for running. It was a bit disappointing to not be able to carry on, but hopefully with a couple more similar length runs it will get easier.
33.3km 4:42min/km 2:36:35
Monday 22nd February - 1,000m Swim
Not as quick as in the previous week, the Sunday run had taken a fair bit out of me, but still an enjoyable swim.
1,000m 27:15
Tuesday 23rd February - Rest Day
Wednesday 24th February - 10.9km Run
After the Sunday run I'd had a bit of swelling on my right leg, similar to when I suffered with the tendonitis last year, needless to say I was fairly concerned, but after a couple of days it seemed to have subsided so I tentatively went out to run. Thankfully, there was no reaction. I didn't go very quickly, more to do with finding my way on a new route rather than any injury. It was just a big relief in the end.

Thursday 25th February - Football
Had time to play football this week. Played ok, scored one, should have scored another though. However, I got kicked a couple of times, leaving the legs a bit sore for the next couple of days.
Friday 26th February - Track Session
Following the same strategy as for Orihuela, I went to the track to do a 5k run so I was comfortable running quicker km's ready for a half-marathon in Torrevieja. I ended up running a bit longer, I did the 5k under 4:00min/km and did another 800m at a similar pace before finishing with a slower 400m.
7.4km 4:39min/km 34:28
