Just a quick update on my progress.
I'm still potentially on track for this event. I think.
Over the last couple of weekends I've managed 2 long runs. Not quite as long as the schedules would insist on, but potentially long enough. Ten days ago I did a 16 miler and yesterday a 19 mile run. They amounted to 2:30 and 3:10 of continuous running. Each run broke the record books for me, so I have to feel like I'm making good progress.
I can't say I really enjoyed either. Both of them were flat slogs on hard ground in grey, cold weather. And my knees felt assaulted the next day.
But tomorrow we fly to Bombay and then on to Pune for my taper. Different conditions and new challenges await.
I still have a long to-do list before going to bed, so I can't really dwell.
Andy: thanks for the links and further info. Helpful as always.
