Training week (Mar 20th - Mar 26th)

Saturday 20th March - Rest Day

Sunday 21st March - 27km Run
The plan was to do 30km+ but didn't have it in me, I'm putting it down to not eating properly the day before. I was caught up in my work and missed lunch, had a big dinner but it seems it wasn't sufficient to compensate. I ran 25k's, walked for a couple of minutes before running the last bit home.
27.2km 4:45min/km 2:09:05

Monday 22nd March - 1,000m Swim
A little bit slower than the week before but still a quick swim for me. It was a good distraction after a busy day, preparing my class, grading and when having a moment studying for my courses.
1,000m 26:32

Tuesday 23rd March - Rest Day

Wednesday 24th March - 13.2km Run
After the disappointing effort on the previous Sunday I had a better midweek run, getting round 13km's at a good pace. I have one more half marathon before London, after this run I felt fairly confident of being able to attempt another PB.
13.2km 4:10min/km 55:03

Thursday 25th March - Rest Day
I had an exam to come the following day and wasn't feeling confident enough about it to skip an hour of studying to play football.

Friday 26th March - Track Session
After the stresses of doing an exam in the morning it was a good release to get out on the track. I did an 800m, 2x200m, another 800m, another 2x200m and 1,000m to finish off, before a gentle jog back home. I wasn't at my quickest, I suspect the late night of studying the day before had zapped the energy a tad.
6.2km 6:11min/km 38:07
