November 21th - 152 Days to Marathon - 45Min jog

Ouch. The sprints are starting to get worse and a rest day yesterday helped. I'm not getting shin splints as such, just very sore lower tibia and fibia's. I'm not sure what's causing so am off to have a good surf to see if I can remedy.

For the time being i'm cutting back on the sprint training in favour of more hill work and more fartlek. Pushed gently for 45mins today and although aching have found that i'm still working out my aches rather than compounding them - this I know is a good thing.

Did a basic lap of Green Park and St James Park, past Buckingham Palace and slauted the Queen as best I could whilst running, well, more of a doffed cap really but still, thought that counts. Lots of Serpentine runners out, weather mild again. I'm not sure if the weather knows if it is coming or going. Gentle training run with a 20min fast run combo tomorrow night.
