Last night I went to see my sports physio for a final pre-race massage to get my legs in tip top condition for Sunday! Tonight I did my last run before the big one on Sunday!
Only 2 more sleeps until THE Manchester Marathon (Or should I say one more sleep and one night of tossing and turning!).
The plan for today said a 20 minute easy run with 8 x 15 seconds of strides, fast but not flat out!
I was feeling nervous about this final run! I really didn't want to do anything stupid and get injured!
I tried to incorporate some fast blasts into my run and was pleased when I made it home without any niggles manifesting themselves!
I ran 2.37 miles in 21.07 minutes.
During the 20 weeks I have been training for this marathon I have done 555 miles in 82 runs taking 90 hours 45 minutes out of my life!
Out of the 82 runs, 5 were races, including 2 x half marathons, 1 x 20 miler, 1 x 6 miler and a 10K. I achieved a PB in 4 out of 5 of these!
I hope that stands me in good stead for Sunday!
The weather still looks horrendous but at least I have had plenty of practice running in the rain! I bet at least 50 out of my 82 runs have been in the rain!
Bring it on!
