Ran 7 miles today (1hr 08min). Our longest so far. This was a particularly good run as we set out to find the start of the Marathon route that is only 21 weeks away. After the jumping on and off tubes and DLR we finally made it to the start line and set off to run our 7 miles. It was good to see the course that we will be running so that we know exactly what to expect come race day.
Jess and I struggled with the hills on this part of the course but we managed to maintain a good steady pace throughout (10min/mile). Bitterly cold out there today however, and had to keep thinking about Australia and the hot weather (could struggle with that too).
Remember to sponsor us and help us up those hills. xx
