4 miles moderate, 5.4 miles tempo

Went out before breakfast for the same 4-mile route, this time in 26:44 which was only one second per mile slower than yesterday.

In the evening the club training session was supposed to be between 5 and 6 miles at an easy pace. We set off slowly enough and took 14 minutes to cover the first two miles, but after that the pace picked up a bit. I started to fall behind slightly a couple of miles further on but the two leaders seemed to slow down as we approached the end of Temple Road, allowing me to catch up, and I took the opportunity to push on up the hill while trying not to overdo it in advance of Sunday's race. Finished in 35:24.
