It's been a tough training since Saturday; 30 mile bike, 78 mile bike, 3.1k swim, 3.1k swim & 1.5 hour turbo session. So tonight the 17.5 mile run was tough and painful. It was my longest run to date but I kept telling myself that pain comes with ironman so this was good practise. It felt slow but when analysing the data the pace was 8.17 per mile which equates to a 3 hr 37 min marathon - now that's fast in my book!
Back for a fabulous dinner to replace some of the 2,000 calories used and rest before bed because tomorrow I'm in the pool for a 4 km swim. Friday was meant to be a 90 mile cycle but I'm travelling to a football tournament with my son for the weekend. Fortunately it is a recover week next week and I feel like I've earned it - well, I will have after tomorrow's swim!
