On my own today as Paul was philosophising in Brighton. Throat still feeling a bit sore and phlegmy so decided against the planned tempo session. Instead headed out to Claywheels Lane and through Beeley to Oughtibridge. Climbed the hill over the railway line and picked up the TPT which I followed through Wharncliffe and beyond. Made it just past the tunnel before turning round and coming back the same way. Picked up the pace a little in miles 19 and 20 to 6.30s just to stretch the legs. Chest OK, but a bit tight on some of the short steep climbs. Hopefully this will have helped clear the system, because other than that I was running strongly. Post run weight was under 65kg, which is getting close to target.

Fuel: lucozade at 30 minutes, 1 hr, after gel and 2 hrs. Gel at turn point after c.82 minutes.
