Results for Action Heart are in - I'm 236 out of 762 in a time of 40 minutes 41 secs, which predicts a half-marathon time of just under 1 hour 53 on the Lucozade site, which comes in pretty close to the time calculated on the % of the winner's time.
This week, other commitments (like a job interview and taking Katherine to the airport) interfered with my normal training days, so I trained Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday I followed the Coalport Dodger route from Stirchley and Dawley Station, past Madeley Market Station, and down into Coalport. And then back! Part of my intention to remove the sting from that long gruelling run back up into Telford. It seemed to work, this time (I don't know whether it was second wind, or the slope actually eases) I was able to pick up the pace as I neared Madeley, and I covered the 8 miles in 1 hour 12 minutes, 35 minutes going down, and 37 minutes coming back up. Wednesday was only remarkable in that, for the 3rd consecutive run on this route, I've completed it in just over 38 minutes (38:02, 38:09, 38:08), and Friday was about 5 1/2 miles - when I tried to measure it on Runfinder, it packed up on me! I'll do it later!
