7 miles the day after a 14-miler seems unnecessary, so obviously I made it hilly and hot (mid 20s°C/ mid 70s°F) after doing my #scyforrunners but also somehow progressive.

I survived the biggest week of the block, finishing with the last long #SundayLongRun at a faster than expected pace for 14 miles.

Completes the week with 53.29 miles (85.78km) run, including 13 miles (4x1.5 + 7) at half marathon pace and 3 runs of at least 11 miles. 2 weeks to go.

Back at Ashton Court in a running rather than volunteer position this week. Had to put my foot down on the cycle in after next door's cat wanting attention and had to be gently ejected from the house. Took that energy into the run and ran a bit more on the steady than easy side, for an official time of 23:23.

Penultimate tempo run of the block done, and next week's is shorter. Is there any way I'll run at the pace I managed for 7 miles over the full 13.1? Absolutely not, but it's good training anyway. 7 miles at 1:36 pace with a couple of miles to warm up and 3 to cool down for a total of 12.

Took the opportunity of running some errands in the car to grab some of the more distant #Bristol #GromitUnleashed statues. Still a few left outside of the borders of the M4/M5, we'll have to see if I can come up with a reason to visit them.

Still just about light enough for the Summer 8 mile route at club this evening, after picking up and putting down heavy things this morning.

Penultimate #intervals session of the block with 4 reps of a mile and a half. Hit similar paces to the same session 4 weeks ago, except this time I completed all 4 reps instead of just 3.

Started the last big week of training in usual fashion: with #scyforrunners. Then took myself off to the local park for some easy hilly miles.

Out onto the railway path for the postponed tempo run from Friday. 7 miles at 1:37 half marathon pace with a couple of miles warm up and three miles cool down for 12 miles total. Comparatively cooler at *just* 20°C (68°F).

Rounds out the week with 49.17 miles (79.14km) run, including 13 miles (3x2 + 7) at half marathon pace, and three runs of at least 10 miles. 3 weeks to go.

Too hot for the planned tempo workout, so switched it with Sunday's long run. A nice easy 10 miles, persevering with a top for the first half.
