I just finished a 13.009km running that lasted about 1hh:15mm:35ss !
After yesterday's sprint I was planning to take it steady today. Again I managed to avoid the rain and did not go through the underpass that is usually flooded. As is often the case I headed up to Fairfield park, but did not run right around it this time. I was avoiding places that might be muddy and slippery.
I took the track across to The Grange and did quite well up the big hill with a second best time on one of the segments there. Not so long ago I was struggling to run all the way up. At the top I seemed to startle some crows who made quite a lot of noise. I could barely hear my podcast as I passed them. I almost caught up with another guy around there, but he turned down a different path.
I kept going out to Norton and followed the road downhill to the Greenway on Radwell Meadows. I seemed to speed up a little on the second half, but that is often the case. Strava rated my pace as a combination of endurance and tempo, compared with threshold and above that I was doing yesterday.
This cooler weather has made running a little more comfortable, but I still got warm. As I came out the other side of Stotfold I saw that the roadworks there are finally finished. There is a big new junction for access to the new football club and lower school. That means I have a clear run to do my other 5km time trial along the cyclepath to Stotfold, so I will try that again soon.
The run ended up a little longer than I expected, but my legs were good to the end. I keep wondering about trying some sort of run every day for a week at least. I could try it and see if I can sustain it.
Run free and stay well.
