Marathon training - one week to go

99km this week. Mostly easy running but included 3 x 1600m in a 14km run on Thursday and also some strides after a couple of the easy runs during the week. Just 21km today @ 4.24/km. Felt very easy despite a bit of a breeze and I had to consciously slow myself down a couple of times.

We fly out tomorrow night, so I will get a run in tomorrow morning. We don't arrive in Houston until 4pm Tuesday and the sun sets at 5.40pm so I think I will be reduced to running on a "dreadmill" at the hotel. Rehearsal run on Wednesday will include 3km @ marathon pace but the rest of the week will be very much easy running.
