Training paying off

Another complete week's training:

Wed - 1 hour up and down the hills of Crystal Palace + 45 mins on the flat.
Avg speed 13.5 mph. 24 miles. Z2 / Z3. + 30 mins turbo Z3

Thurs - 1 hour 25 mins on the flat.
Avg speed 18.9mph, Z3. 27 miles

Sat - 2 hours 30 mins up and down Muswell Hill and beyond - but still mainly Z2.
Avg speed 14.7 mph. 36 miles.

Sun - just under 6 hours. Mainly flat.
Avg speed 16.9mph. Z2/Z3. 100 miles.

Nice to be sure I can do the distance, and also weird in that I felt stronger and was faster in second 50 miles than first.

Total 187 miles on road (+ 32 miles to work and back + 30 mins turbo).

Now I need to get fit enough to be able to do it over mountains...and on a hot day.
