30 miles in 2 days, let me sleep!
 
Too much too soon. I tried two experiments this weekend. A ten mile slow run on Friday followed by an 18 mile slow run on Saturday. I also tried the Saturday long run with no fuel on the run, and not much beforehand. The result - complete knackered-dom. Compounded by a lack of sleep. I haven’t been so tired at the end of a run since 2006 I don’t think. I won’t be doing that combination again in a hurry. My time for the 18 miler was 15 minutes slower than when I did it last year.
Off to Brighton this weekend for the Half Marathon, my first real test of any improved speed. I’m aiming at 1:30, or 6m50s pace per mile, but I’ll be happy with 1:32 odd, still 5 minutes faster than my PB.
