progress..........

Well it's been a couple of weeks since my last update as I have been really busy with training & work.

Thankfully training has been going really well, did some running in Dortmund, some good 1 hour up tempo runs during the week & have been down the gym quite a few times in the last few weeks as a bonus. I have now completed my last long distance training run & managed just under 24 miles in 3:35 on bank hol monday. Many thanks to Emma who dragged herself out of bed v early on her Bank Holiday to come with me for my last long run on her bike & well done for powering up those hills!

The last long run was good & it gives me confidence to go into my taper period knowing that I comfortably ran just under 24 miles in training! Hopefully on the day with a bit of R&R I will be able to run slightly faster than I have in training but we will see, lets hope so!

I am really really glad to now finally enter the taper phase of training & I am going to back off a little to give my body chance to recover & repair so I will be raring to go on the day, 2 weeks this Sunday OMG!!

Still planning a 13 mile run this weekend, a few gym sessions & I will get out on the mountain bike but it will be a relaxed schedule!

Still looking for extra donations to hit the target, please donate @ www.justgiving.com/ian-kelly

Here is the route over the last run!
