Hanson Plan: Day 9

13 mile long run, desired pace 10k pace + 60-75 secs
Desired pace 7:30-7:45/mile

Run report: http://connect.garmin.com/dashboard?cid=3669337

Absolutely blinding run today, felt good throughout despite the welsh hills' best effort to slow me down!

Feeling good about the progress I've felt over the last three weeks, so hopefully will be ale to replicate this next weekend during marathon number 8.

Hills are definitely feeling a bit easier, although still not easy. Managed to keep going most of the time and only had to stop twice due to fatigue.

Am planning in running at an 8min/mile pace on Sunday depending on the terrain. I haven't had a chance to take a look at the course map yet but will do this during the week.

To anyone looking for a good marathon plan, can say at the moment that the Hanson less is more plan seems to be a good guide to get good results.
