Alex's London Marathon adventure by alexalder

My training plan called for a 10 mile race but I didn't have anything scheduled - so settled for 10 miles at race pace... soon found I was a bit crippled still from yesterday's Fartlek session!

I just ran home from work, but, with the evenings being so light, couldn't resist taking a detour through Greenwich Park, I really felt the ascent up the hill. After that it was hard work but I averaged a respectable 8 minute mile all the way to 12 miles (and home). If I'd done that for one more mile I would have beaten my half marathon race time which is a really good feeling.

Extremely stiff after that although I am beginning to get some movement back!
