Another week of Spring marathon training, more night running and photos:

The shot of the tree was at the start point of my hill reps, around the corner from home, while the canal was much further away – taken on Sunday’s 16 mile (26km) long run.

I had left it late-ish in the day to do, and was extremely unmotivated – particularly by the thought I wouldn’t be back till well past Philip’s bedtime.

Thanks to my wife for getting me out of the door and Coach Bennet & Andy Puddicombe for setting me on the way with the NRC+ “Not Motivated Run w/ Headspace”.

It’s these long, dark, inconvenient runs that we don’t want to do that help us run strongly in the beautiful races we look forwards to…

…happy running!
