The build up to London had been pretty good, and I was comfortable with what more I needed to get from my training for Amsterdam - more endurance, speed less of an issue.
During June I created a spreadsheet, filled in a few slots of what I thought I should be doing, and never quite finished it. By late July it was getting a bit late to worry about a training plan, so I gave up on that idea, and went for run lots, largely on feel. This meant that speedwork largely fell by the board, but I was not so concerned about that - a 5k PB in mid July, and then a 5 mile race in mid September convinced me I was not missing much.
More to come!
