This episode was recorded on May 5th 2021 - 17 days before the Classic Quarter and exactly 27 months and 820 days since I announced I was going to take part - that announcement was on Feb 5th 2019.
In this episode I reflect on the transition from completing the long run training to now focusing on my mindset for the day. I share how I'm breaking the course down into four very uneven quarters and also into 3 mile segments and what I'll be doing during each segment as well as talking about how I'm planning to simply have a big day out.
I also introduce a new idea when this is over called RB@50 which is running begins at 50 and is inspired a little bit by the lonely goats running community and also by the number of people that I've met my kind of age-group out running on their own during my training as well as targeting those people who have got to the stage in life where they words want to return to their youthful activity but without any motivation or inspiration could easily end up simply not doing that and instead buying a bigger TV a bigger sofa and a wider sky sports subscription.
