Just completed the last long run I'll do before the Great North Run. Not as long as I would have liked at this stage (8miles) but it's a lot further than I could run last February.
I tried to run it as close to how I'll run the race as possible, testing out a few things I plan to use on the day. It was a windy day and running up Gulpher Road hill against a strong breeze was ... interesting. Hopefully there will be a nice westerly (with just a hint of south in it) on the 20th September, blow us all nicely along the course.
So now it's gently reduce the mileage, while keeping up some of the quality runs in there and let the body prepare itself for the big day.
