dannewton just finished a 22.65km run, that lasted for 135 minutes.
This run helped dannewton burn 1799.0 calories.
Description from Strava: So after yestedays post I finally managed to get outside today to complete the weekly long run.
I think I may still be getting over the 20 miles completed last weekend. I also wanted to hit 50km for the week again, which meant I needed to cover 21km today. I decided to go back to the route along the Cliff Villages. This is a set of villages that are all located in a line along the top of the Lincoln Edge.
Its a relatively smooth and level route, and there is a path that runs alongside the road, so its a decent route to take. I saw plenty of other runners and cyclists out there today.
It was a pleasant run today. The sun wasn't shining, but it still seemed quite bright and warm at 10C and I saw plenty of snowdrops along the way, so Spring is just around the corner! I took my Camelbak out of habit, but I only had water this time. I hadn't planned ahead for sweets, and as it was only a 2 hour run they technically weren't needed. I do need to up my snack game in preparation for the Marathon next month, and try to find something other than Jelly Babies to eat!
Considering I was aiming to take it nice and easy...
I ran a bit quicker than I had intended. Dunno how that happened, every time I checked my watch the pace was between 6.10 and 6.30 for each km. And then when I checked the stats at the end I had apparently averaged 5:56 over the entire distance (which then resulted in a Half-Marathon PB oops!)
I think I only broke the previous time by less than 30 seconds, but still!
It wasn't planned or expected...I guess the nicer weather conditions helped, or maybe I just felt good out there today? Perhaps the change of route helped; I've not ran down here for about 7 weeks.
I'm not complaining by the way, just curious lol!
Anyway. Run completed, Lunch eaten, now to get some chores done ready to start a new working week tomorrow. And if I have time then I'll look at planning my schedule for the next few weeks - Marathon ETA i 41 days and counting!
