Out to club this evening in the race t-shirt (as is tradition). It has been super hot here today so was grateful to do the shortest distance available (an abbreviated 4 miles). Just as well as my quads are still shredded and my left knee gave up just as we got back.

Rounds out the month with 228.2 miles (367.31km) run, and 9,672ft (2,948m) of elevation gained.

Today was always going to be about managing the heat, but with 3 loo stops in the first half I considered DNFing at Tower Bridge. I opted to continue using a run-walk strategy and only ended up with a 13 minute positive split in the end.

Not my fastest, not my slowest, but my last for a while, and I kept myself out of the medical tent (which was the main goal).

Definite shades of 2018, but with fewer water stations (and with more mileage between them in the first half) I think some problems could have been avoided. I wait to see what the attrition rate was. The ice was great (where it was available). Straight into the crop top it went.

A little shakeout with the sister at Hampstead Heath #parkrun and jumped in to do some barcode scanning afterwards. All ready for tomorrow, even have my #flatlay done. Weather is looking far too hot, so I'll be taking it easy and trying to enjoy myself as much as possible. 1 day to go.

From TikTok to AI: What the EU now calls a security threat.

From TikTok to AI agents, burner phones to banned apps: rising global tensions are forcing EU officials to rethink which tech tools are safe to use - and which could hand secrets to foreign powers.

Euronews looks at which tech tools and online platforms can be used by politicians across Europe, and which ones are black-listed.

Today #strava #AI told me this was my 50th run on this route and this was my best time ever. That gave me a nice warm feeling.

But Strava not-AI also told me that I have done this run at least 200 times in the past (that's how far back it compares your runs) and I know for a fact that I have previously been a lot faster than today.

That I still got that nice warm feeling even when I knew for a fact that the AI was lying, that's what worries me about AI.

#Fartlek run after a long day: 13x1m w/ 1m jog in between, followed by progressive run. Fastest lap (the last) pace 6'11"/mi, peak pace 5'59"/mi. Ended at 7'33"/mi.

By the way there seems to be a new feature in #Strava: "Performance Predictions". Except for 10K where the prediction was slightly slower than my PR (handwritten), all the other predictions point higher than my PRs! Should I consider this as subtle encouragements? 🙂

It is Patriots' Day and I am therefore legally obliged (along with anyone else who has run the #BostonMarathon) to don the blue and yellow, and post about their run. Mine was in 2019 and was the first time I went under 3:30. I went under 3:20 13 days later in London.

An easy 6 miles this morning, and I even managed to find some hills. 6 days to go.
