Sunday - Gosport Half Marathon (68.07). Got sent the wrong way but stopped my watch at 68.07, having felt comfortable throughout, and then ran 4 miles to the finish, then a another 3 with Tom Payn (21). Hip was slightly sore but not painful.

Monday - 50mins steady. Was supposed to do an hour but hip was slightly sore so kept it at 50 Saw physio though and she put some needles in me (7.5)

Tuesday - AM - 47 mins steady (7.5)

               PM - 45 mins brisk. 5.40-6min miling. Legs felt ok. Hip feels beter after yesterday's physio (7.5)

Wednesday - 90mins with 10 x 3mins at marathon pace off 3mins steady. Felt pretty knackered today, probably the effects of last week have just reached me. Was struggling to reach marathon pace whilst still feeling comfortable. Hip felt fine though. (14.5)

Thursday - 50 mins steady. Bit tired again but got it done. (7.5)

Friday - 48 mins steady (7)

Saturday - 60 mins with 6 x 5mins tempo off 90 secs in. Wind was aginst me going out, and was doing 5.20 miling or so. 5.00-5.05 on the way back, althoguh felt like I was working quite hard for it. (10.5)

81.5 miles. Legs don't feel that fresh and some efforts have been a bit laboured, but hip seems to react well to physio. Taper time next week, so hould help me freshen up a bit!
