Poor tempo attempt
(3 mi @ ~7:28 pace)

Midweek medium-long run
Designed a slightly flatter route which takes about 100ft of climbing off the route, which makes life a bit easier. Felt good today, although legs are tired the pace came easier for the effort than it has been.

Big one today, 21 long miles. Felt surprisingly good, didn’t “hit the wall” and still felt reasonably strong at the end. Pretty pleased overall!
