Tried to be like a running influencer and do some filming on my hills session today and it’s extremely annoying and I don’t recommend it to anyone
TCS Sydney Plan (Week 5/21)

Well, after what seems like an eternity of a Saturday, marathon day has finally arrived.
Weather is cool, dry, bit of a breeze though. I hope it's behind me where I'm not sheltered from it.
Excited and looking forward to it. Last 6 miles might be tough, as a 6mile race joins the route around about the time I'll get there, oh well, I'm going to enjoy it anyhow 
Today was horrible weather for a long run in London 
It may be seven degrees, though with the wind and rain it felt much colder. At one point I had to pause, and turn my back to the rain and wind in order to compose myself #marathontraining #ukrunchat
One week to go until Valenica marathon, and what a mixed bag the weather has been in London. Wednesday it was almost zero, and I had to wear long sleeves and gloves, where as today it was a balmy 16 degrees. #MarathonTraining #ValenicaMarathon
Some great interval training today, pushed the pace a bit so I am building muscle and stamina.
Warm up
1K, 2K, 2x1K off 400m recovery.
Looking over my log, I had faster 1K repeats in this training block, but not 3 days after an 18M run, so I call that a win

Lactate interval training with Ultra today (30 seconds hard / 15 sec easy)
Love the new interval workout screen and screen/voice prompts for easy and hard effort intervals.
Downside, the new voice prompts are wordy that they almost spill over to the next interval. Wish there was a way to shorten the readout of the target heart range to just zone numbers or effort level.
Or better yet, yell at me to go faster, max effort or run for my life. 
Marathon preparing update: 3 nights to the race: Sleep is mediocre from 6 to 8 hours, I work too much and my eating is all over the place (constantly hungry, unhealthy snacks, most of the time I don't have the energy and don't know what the heck to eat - I don't cook).
Sounds worrying but this is the way I've been running long runs for 17 weeks. "Don't change anything" rule, I guess... 
Today I'm going to eat pizza Italian style. I love pizza.
I'll have my first Marathon ever on Saturday. I suck at eating. I don't eat breakfast and I tend to go with fatty food like pizza too often.
Runners of Mastodon: What to eat this week? Help me out.
For Finns: Mitä ihmettä tarkoittaa "tankkaaminen"?
The second last training run before the full marathon
Here's my race shirt by @dude.
After 16 miles yesterday, felt as though I was walking around like a zombie... longest run to date and toughest of my marathon training so far. #Running #ukrunchat #MarathonTraining
With Osaka marathon a bit under a month away, my long runs are getting longer - 34km today taking in much of east London, and bringing my weekly mileage to 90km! #running #osakamarathon #marathontraining
Longest run in almost 2 years. 
Fastest long run since March car crash
Negative splits 
Did acupuncture, fisio and a massage for my neck pain (car accident effects) this week. Worth it.

15 miles for breakfast. Getting my endurance and my pace back week by week
(24,3 kilometers, 5:24/km).
