Many thanks for the articles, very interesting stuff.
Since Saturday's 10 km 'practice race' I've followed up with two easy runs with the missus. Left the gps watch at home both times and was delighted with the outcomes.
First one run at a very slow pace and managed to find some shade for about a 5 km very enjoyable run/trot. Same on the menu today, but later in the day as the sun was dropping and the thermometer read a remarkable 26. After 3 km wanted to stretch my legs and go a little longer than my partner had in mind. Felt like I flew the last 5km and was great fun without my core temp skyrocketing. What a difference a few degrees can make!
Comments on hillwork noted and will go with the training plan posted. Results to follow in the coming days.
Thanks again for your time and effort.
