I just finished a 6.952km running that lasted about 0hh:38mm:11ss !
Today was a little drier than Tuesday, but I still stayed away from the mud. I went back to Fairfield to give my legs a workout on the hill. This time I opted to do a full loop of the estate and went the opposite direction to normal. We do tend to get into habits and it can be nice to mix it up a bit. Strava says I did my second best time on the way up West Drive. I did push a bit up there, but was not really going for it all the way.
I had a little cycle ride yesterday to do some shopping. That was the first time I have been on the bike in a while and it felt good, but I need to work on whatever different muscles I use when cycling.
I saw a few other runners around this morning, including one guy I overtook. Chasing him helped me get some reasonable lap times. I rate anything under 5:30/km as quick and I was dead on that for average pace today. Of course I go quicker down the hills, but I had to do the equivalent climbs too.
Coming down the hill again felt good and I got some extra speed there, but was not going flat out. The run back along the High Street is pretty much flat and I just tried to maintain my pace.
Not a bad run overall. I will try to get back to some proper intervals next week. This run takes me up to 100 hours for the year with three months to go. I should hit around 1400km, which will be my best by far.
Run free and stay well.
