Drinking:
Over the two weeks I must have had about 30 glasses of red including two types of Pic Saint Loup, some Bordeaux (specific training), and some Baume de Venise.
I also had a little Rosé and some late harvest from Gard. Muscat. A San Miguel beer and a Cognac.

After my first 19km run at the end of week 13 my legs went on strike. I did not have any serious problems but the level of muscle fatigue seemed to stay the same for 5 days after the run. So I did what I do best and I took it easy for a while.

My last outing was a 21k run. I used the 10 to 1 run to walk formula consistently after the first 12k. I did the last half of the run at a stadium so that I could check the accuracy of my pedometer and it was pretty good, just a tad stingy. I figure that should balance out given that the pedometer continued to tick over while I walked. I was able to keep up a pace of 10kmh during the running segments which I am happy enough with for now.
I need to find a way to reduce my recovery time so that I don't need 5 days rest after every long run. One of the more obvious things I can do is bring more water for my long runs. I only drank 500ml during my 2 hour/ 21k outing. I drank lots more after but it probably would have been wise to have drunken more during. The following day I sat on my but and ate lots of lamb and downed wine and beer and rosé and cognac from noon till midnight.
This is 3 days after and I don't feel up to running today but I may go for a swim and try a light jog tomorrow.
