I love to run a psyching out there testing yourself.

That's both.

May competition.

I'm a very competitive person getting out best, do you?

I mean, it's second you have done it.

And last year, the craft amazing.

And again, there's loads of people out there.

It's It's just so good to see so many people are in about on the streets of Cambridge.

Really?

On for me personally wasn't quite classes last year, but still still around pretty strong.

So yes, yes, I raced in the ice stock nearly six, which is a good racing flat for the Marathon I party where the fast twitch on day today.

Training.

I wear the triumph of mirage.

So good mix of shoes.

Really, I like to keep it fresh in the mix around seven weeks out now, and I want to get myself a good, good, hot, drawn out seven weeks.

So if it's perfectly, really just hopefully the next seven weeks ago to plan.

So hopefully the next five weeks, I look to sharpen up a little bit more speed work than I've been doing.

I've been doing a lot of miles recently two weeks out, really ease off the mileage keeping, but yeah, drop it down.

Come in.

These few weeks I've been doing 120 miles for the last two weeks of drop down to 18.

60.

Just really try and freshen up, but keeps up in terms of the buildup.

I would not do too much in the buildup.

I think I've fallen foul of that part of doing too much training going into the market to fit.

So, like, now, I don't want to be as fit as I'm gonna be on race day.

But yet just just don't worry about it.

Try and relax and enjoy it.

The worst thing you could do is go to start line, anxious, panicking and using what nervous energy Let it go to waste.

Try and enjoy it as much you can and try and get 20 miles feeling good, which is something I'm quite yet done.

Yet hopefully at London, 20 miles and figures quite personal.

The nutrition I tend to always go with porridge with blueberries and banana for any race.

I do tentative that three hours before I've tried different things that tried it in closer, and it's not worth trying to further away and be hungry so your three hours out for me is perfect, and then I might, if I'm still hungry, have an energy bar like now before, but that's pretty much it.

Don't try no ovary.

Breakfast is always a temptation to stuff yourself for around 26 miles, but just enough that Sonoma rotate.

Be honest.

During the race, I I tried to drink every five K at my drinks out of five K.

I don't have my jail was taped to them trying to tape it.

44.

Jealous during the race?

Um, they get it's quite personally try and training and see how you react to it.

Because, of course, a stitch.

If you have too much sleep diet definitely had anything t it'll.

So, yeah, it's completely personal, but definitely tested in training.

So I suppose, embracing something full out, which isn't a marathon, I would tend to do a two mile warm up, which is just an easy job for May.

So probably free free or four minutes slower than race pace by mile on and then do some jewels and strides today.

I did a bit longer because it uses American type run So I did 25 minutes.

Warm up.

Easy.

No, not as easy as it.

Normally too quick.

American Day.

I just do an easy, mild 10 minute job, really slow just to wake yourself up and then go into Central's stretches sides to sharpen up.

So it's quite tough.

I mean, I tend to work anywhere between 40 and 45 hours a week in the office.

It can be quite flexible, so I can often away a bit early if I need Thio.

But you tend to wake up half six black for an easy running, and then we get done around 56 o'clock in the evening.

I suppose.

What what's a bit tougher is seven days.

So I had troubles or 60 70 mile up the road on a Tuesday night.

Then don't go home 10 o'clock, which is quite tough.

But, um, yeah, it's just about get it, done it getting those good eight weeks solid build up.
