One of the last club sessions before the marathon, so nothing really strenuous was programmed for the evening. It was a lovely evening though, with a clear blue sky and a temperature around 14°C so ideal for running.
I met Laurence and Ingrid, our guest from Sydney, at the club and we began the warm-up together. There was a lot of chattering going on and most of the talk was about the marathon. I ran for a while with Ingrid, talking about her objectives and the people in the club. She appreciated the cooler weather and the trail underfoot as we ran through the forest. The clocks went forward an hour at the weekend, so it means that there is enough light again for training sessions to take place in the forest.
I ran with Régis and Philippe to the track for the marathon training session which was 2 x 1000m at marathon pace. Again, tapering ensured that nothing too exhausting was going to happen tonight. Nick B joined us and we ran the session easily and I continued doing an extended warm-down waiting for the girls to get back to the club.
Laurence got back, having run easily including two intervals at marathon pace or slightly faster. She was pleased to be back out again and to feel that she had some energy once more.
10.5 km all up in 1:05. Very easy. Looking forward to Sunday.

I can't really say I'm looking forward to sunday. Dreading it sounds more like it, and, somehow, I doubt the feeling's going to get better......
