Magic Plan W8 R1, sometimes I even surprise myself!

[Cp1965]

A little later than anticipated due to the adverse weather over the weekend, but out early doors this morning for the first run of Week 8, the last week of the Magic Plan. It's a bit blowy this morning but hey, the new cold weather gear is good!

Not too many folk about at 7.15 this morning as it was really only just starting to get light, far cry from my early morning runs at the start of the plan! All fairly serene, I was briefly accompanied by a squirrel who soon got bored, and my friendly swan family watched serenly as their 2 legged food source huffed and puffed past... but beyond that, fairly uneventful this morning (thankfully!).

A couple of sub-6 minute splits, which were encouraging, I try to up the pace on the shorter runs (ha! Considering that this time last year the bus stop was a big ask!), and once again it paid off- 23:38 for 4k, did consider pressing on to see whether I could putnin a sub-30 minute 5k but I was near home and the gravitational pull of coffee was too strong...

PRs for 2 mile, mile and half mile, and 2nd best km time, chuffed with that! RD tomorrow, 5k Friday and the biggie on Sunday... wish me luck!
