Because the last few weeks has been so erratic, i have tried to cobble a couple of sessions together over last few days to reignite some energy in the legs leading into the half on Sunday. I am a bit miffed, it took longer to recover from illness than anticipated then with being away for the week training just didn't go to plan despite my best intentions.

did a 5x2 session and scaled back the efforts in order to run some consistant pace as i knew speed probably wasnt there. Endurance definetly isnt.
Revised my target to 95 mins for race but after the long run, i am realigning expectations again unless the recovery trigger actually gets some energy into the legs.
Reconsidering entering the Marathon on 3rd May as i don't feel confident now at all either.

Any ideas how to close out this week are welcome. i have recovery tonight and club run tomorrow which will be some sort of tempo so I am thinking then just easy running for rest of week to Friday.
