I used to go to a little gym (really just a few pieces of equipment in a little airless room behind our ancient local swimming pool) where, at busy times, you weren't allowed any more than 10 minutes on any piece of cardio equipment. Not that hte staff were sufficiently switched-on to enforce the rule!
The place I go now has 99 minutes as the default time setting on its treadmills. Imagine 99 minutes on a treadmill!
Today: Eating.
Why: GNR tomorrow. Starting to get butterflies. Need to keep my mouth full of food or it's bye-bye fingernails (the toenails I have written off already).
Last hard day: Sunday. Been tapering all week.
Last rest day: Yesterday. Swam 1km - was all set to double the distance when all of the Brummie Brums of Brummagem decided to get in MY little pool and invade MY lane so I took it as divine intervention and got out.
Confession - walked about 3 miles this morning on the pretext of being premenstrual and absolutely needing a couple of slightly overripe mangoes from the Asian grocer's that sells off ex-supermarket huge mangoes.
Last rest day: yesterday
Last hard day: Thursday
Good luck to everyone doing the GNR
Definitely not used to running for longer than 45 mins - legs began to seize up over last mile....
