Hello again. Nothing much to report at the moment. Taking it easy this week ... ran 8 miles on Wednesday and 7 miles fartlek yesterday. Cycled on Tuesday and did the strength exercises on Wednesday.

Rest day today. Saturday - cycling and 7 or 8 miles fartlek. Sunday - strength stuff and 6 miles tempo.

Slightly more miles planned for next week but basically it's all tapering from now on.

Fay seems to be almost recovered from her bout of labyrinthitis. Could have been quite bad for her crewing in London: the whole world appears to be spinning, she knows it's not, yet she's watching 40 odd runners run round and round in circles all day.
