Yep 100%Just shy of 18 miles on Sunday. Pace is good, recovery is quicker as well.
Seems once you can reach 20+ miles in training its all about mental strength from then on in.
if you can do 20 you can do 26 you’ll nail it how long to go now?Yep 100%
5 weekends....
On the bright side we are in the first departing "wave" of 800 so we`ve got 12+ hours to finish including pit stops.

Think I might have to up the training a lot for that!! The Thames is flat!! Good Luck!!
And so it goes on....... 12 miles on Saturday morning, home for lunch & to dodge the rain. Then a pretty brutal 15 miles in the afternoon. Even though it is "inner city" training there is something lovely about the green spaces we have amongst all the industrial background. "Tapering" starts today.....
Eeeekkkk this is the route! So we leave our AirBnB at 7.00am ish, park the car at the Finish, then get a free bus to the Start for 8.50am............then walk back to the car!
You can track 1311 & 1310 (Mrs M & Me !) once we start at around 8.50am here:

I completed PDC last weekend in an official time of 19 hours and 40 minutes. My watch time was 17 hours 34 minutes (this didn't include rest stops)
We survived!! More importantly we made it, we have completed a marathon!!
Mrs M had her second hip replacement 10.5 months ago and had to "dig deep" at around mile 20...... she got a bit emotional when we crossed the line hand in hand..
Amazing event, organisation was superb. Pit stops & food were superb. Much kudos to Macmillan and the events team/volunteers.
The "Green Tide" along the path of hikers was properly inspirational.
So it took around 11 hours with stops but who cares!!!

Popped up to London Town Sunday morning to see the niece while we were nearby.
Had already had first breakfast at our AirBnB place.
Niece suggested we went to Frankie & Bennys for "brunch"....
I was still ridiculously hungry...
