Today was a total of 12 miles broken up as follows:
2 warm-up
2 @ marathon pace
1 @ 10km pace
2 relaxed
2 @ marathon pace
1 @ 10km pace
2 warm-down
It was very sunny and bright but was also windy. I ran local and cheated so that I had the wind directly behind for both the miles at 10km pace. That was fine though it meant I had 2 nasty efforts into the wind running at marathon pace. Robbing Peter to pay Paul and all that.
The run was continuous (no breaks). The times for the quicker miles were:
5:37/5:39/5:18
5:44/5:46/5:15
All up 19.3km in 1:17:40 (average 4:01/km pace). Still not on top form though I feel better than I did yesterday. A few beers tonight and I'll be flying again.

I have a lovely picture of you giving two fingers to a bus-load of tourists at the finish line of a race in Spiddal last year, that denied you your victorious race finish! Such a display of sportsmanship and just what Bord Failte needs, from an Englishman, no less!!!
In defence of Matt, nearly being run over by a bus during the final sprint of a road race would result in a little annoyance in most people (especially when you are winning!). I also think that racist comments like that are outdated and uncool....
You misread my comment, or rather I miswrote it. I am the Englishman!
Sorry for the confusion, as it was only a lighthearted comment. Yours in running...
Thanks for the comments - no offence taken! I'd like to see that photo - my annoyance was aimed at the coach driver and not the tourists. Whoops. Keep on running!
Great workouts, thanks for sharing this to us. Looking forward for more updates, Congratulations for a great job well done.
