I just finished a 12.908km running that lasted about 0hh:58mm:18ss !

Since I struggled with my last run, I just wanted to add some mileage today. 8 miles is on the longer side for me, so it's good. I felt better, and a little lighter on my feet. Legs still a bit sore, particularly my calves, but much better. The stretching session yesterday definitely helped.
Temperature was a little colder, 3 or 4 degrees below freezing, but I quickly warmed up and it didn't bother me.
I tried following @toofasteddie advice, and started a bit slower than usual. I wasn't able to increase the pace along the way, and it did drop after a few miles, but at least it was more consistent, and not a sudden and sharp drop.
Cadence was also better. I managed to keep it in target range for the first quarter of the run. After that, it started to fall out of range, as I was getting tired.
I think I should probably not run tomorrow, but maybe go for a bike ride instead, along with some stretching again, so I can get a good run on Sunday.
