After the walk last week, I took it easy for a couple of days, and went out for a tempo run of just 10K mid-week. Pretty pleased, just under 8 min miles average, once of my fastest I think – I don’t like running fast!
Been doing a new run in the weeks to mix it up a bit man, this one has some grads in it, so it’s quite a good change.
Big run on Sunday, and pushed it a little, two “loops”, first of 15, then a 10 minute break back at the house to re-fuel, then an 11 mile loop on the other side. Did find the going painful at about 19/20 miles, but I walked bit, and got some water down, and things got better. The Velathon was on, so lots of people were struggling to get where they wanted, I managed to do 26.3 miles, and for just running, it was my quickest marathon ever (although this is only my second) at about 4:20. However with the breaks the clock time was 4:33, so actually although I really pushed for the last three miles it was pointless as I had stopped too long in-between. Damn.
