Plan was MP +19sec per km
Did MP +18sec
But that isn't the whole story, a combination of some MP -20sec km early on, temp pushing above 24C, no breakfast and no drinks when out meant a bit of a dip to finish with.
I reckon when marathon running the half way point is mentally about 19-20miles and then the race starts - if that's true I ran a crap "race" today.
So next week - run with the little man on the watch and not ahead of him - at least in the first 2/3
Get up a little earlier and have porridge
Plan to have on run fluid and a little sugar
Can't plan for the weather - if it's hot I need to just get over it! and take on more fluid.
The temperature thing is a niggle for me, I really struggle sometimes in the heat (though today there were a few other schoolboy errors). I've just put my long runs alongside the calender and I've a long run in Death Valley California in late August - perhaps I'll move my runs round that week!
