Well since i missed the weekend run I needed to get out and get it done - 22 miles and then taper. So after an early finish I set off around Chester - and just kept in steady (had to borrow Julie's Garmin 110 with mine being fixed or replaced - so ran with no HR). As you can see from the trace I my pace was pretty steady - but because I had no support - and ran out of gels at the weekend - I started to flag with no nutrition of hydration.
At mile 18 it really started to hit me along the Meadows as I had to start / stop at the gates - anyway finally got through it - and managed to avg 7:34s - not bad considering the last few werent near that :0) and I know I was running at a conversational pace. Definitely think I'm running a lot better than last year - much stronger and quicker.

Well its taper down to the big day from here - less than three weeks to go!!!!
