Despite around eight hours driving and a 4:45am start to the day, I felt remarkably enthusiastic about today’s run and really fancied an eleven miler (am I nuts?). Unfortunately, due to dog-walking and child-minding obligations, I had to cut this short to 7 miles.

So energised was I that I pushed the pace a little (it was 24 degrees and humid) and let my heart rate soar to an average of 173bpm. I know this is exactly what I shouldn’t be doing at this stage in my training, but sometimes the heart rules the head. Lovely!
