Easy run

3 x 10 minutes (90s walk)

5 x 6 minutes (75s walk)

Easy by feel long run on a fabulous day. It was lovely to run under the cliffs at low tide. Cold again, though much safer than the icy conditions yesterday. Just regular frost in shady places today.

With 15 weeks to go I can now consider myself in training for the Manchester Marathon. I'm going to treat the next 4 weeks as base-building period, using fairly standard NSA. Then 10 weeks with marathon specificity leaving 1 week for the taper. I've only got one race on the calendar at the moment, The Riverside 5 mile in Exeter on February 8th. Not sure if I'll actually take part or not, I'll decide nearer the time. I may or may not race a parkrun too. It'll only happen if I'm in the mood after work on a Saturday with reasonable weather.

A solid week after a 2 week cut-back for the 5K race and festive period. 489 minutes of running, of which 399 were easy, 90 were NSA intervals. 82%-18%.
