& the things you definitely don’t like people shouting at you when you're running a marathon:

·         Take the bus!

·         You’re stride is all wrong!

·         Jaysus, what’s that coming out of your nose!

·         You look knackered!

·         It looks a lot faster on TV!

·         Give up!

·         He’s gaining!

·         I want that report on my desk by Tuesday!

Yesterday’s training

A good tough session to get back into the swing off it after a few days rest and light runs. After a long warm-up of about 4-5 k, 6 miles continuous increasing in speed every two miles from about 6.50 minute miles to 6.40 minute miles to a final 6.30 minute brace of miles. Ended up clocking near 18 k. The watch read 19 but that was because I forgot to stop it when Ik drove off in the car (which obviously brought the average pace down too!)
