Now I’m ready to start
Screen shots from my virtual course tour using Google maps street view:
I didn’t finish the whole tour, it was too tedious. I’m going to drive/bike the course on Monday to get familiar.
This morning Gillis and I did our last 30km run before the marathon. We did some pace work and averaged a little faster than marathon pace. It was really easy to hit 3:04/km today with the cooler temps and a reduced work load.
This past Tuesday we did mile repeats on our road loop. They went really well and I actually feel that I’m in decent 10km shape right now. Before my first two marathons I never felt I was in good 10km shape and I think this will really help me in Toronto in two weeks time.

Dude….Arcade Fire, right? I adore The Suburbs. Just sayin.
got it.
I’m stoked for you.
Do your thing..
Thanks MPD. Hope England is treating you well.
Would you mind providing specifics of that mile work-out.
We did the miles on a road loop that has a net elevation drop and also has a small hill. We did 5 of them with 5 minutes rest and I averaged 4:23. The first one was a couple of seconds slower because a driver decided to not budge and head right for us. We averaged a few seconds faster than 5 weeks ago and I’m doing these 9 seconds faster than a year ago.
