LSR to the City via Victoria Park

January 16, 2015 16.0 miles 2:18:28 8:39/mi

Ran this without any breakfast – quite hard work but probably good practise for running low on carbs.

Recovery run home

January 15, 2015 6.2 miles 58:14 9:22/mi

Medium-long run home

January 14, 2015 12.0 miles 1:46:35 8:52/mi

Easy run (PM)

January 13, 2015 6.1 miles 54:22 8:54/mi

First time doing doubles. Two sixes are certainly easier than one 12 miler! Very nice to totally avoid public transport all day too, especially given today’s bus strike.

Easy run (AM)

January 13, 2015 6.3 miles 52:50 8:25/mi

Recovery run

January 10, 2015 5.0 miles 48:19 9:35/mi

Another windy medium-long run

January 9, 2015 12.0 miles 1:46:34 8:52/mi

Hilly, windy medium-long run via Hampstead

January 7, 2015 14.1 miles 2:07:15 9:01/mi

Between the wind, the hills, and the tired legs from yesterday’s tempo run, this felt like quite hard work! I suppose that’s the point of this midweek longer runs though.

Tempo run (5 mi @ ~7:33 pace)

January 6, 2015 9.0 miles 1:14:10 8:13/mi

Still not hitting the paces I was managing at the end of November, but today’s run felt much more controlled than the last few tempo runs I’ve done. Given this was five miles at tempo, net uphill and with a bit of wind against me not too bad I guess. Improvement at least.
