Hi TheEd,
I could not resist to run a race this weekend (it would normally have
been the day of my goal marathon). I decided to do a Half-Marathon on
a very hilly course on trails and unpaved-roads, to avoid the
concrete...
Sorry, coach, for not discussing with you before
I hoped to still benefit from my truncated marathon-training from 4 weeks ago.

Final time was 1:18:33. First place with ~4min distance on the
second... According to some calculators the 1:18:33 would equate to
~1:14 on a flat course.
Felt incredibly cofortable during the whole run. Chatted all the time
with the guy on leading bike (Avg HR was only 163/85% and Max HR only 171/90%).
Don't feel beaten up today and shins are almost in prefect condition.
Nice lesson learned: 4 weeks of cross training and low volume of
running can lead to a leap in performane!
Time for a little race period?!
I suppose I still have to have an eye on my shins...
