Recovery run from the City

October 29, 2015 6.0 miles 53:47 8:57/mi

Track session (2×2 mi, 2×1 mi @ goal 10K pace)

October 28, 2015 12.0 miles 1:30:59 7:35/mi

I’ve switched to doing these late morning now the clocks have gone back. Overall pleased with the performance – definitely not easy but it’s not supposed to be and seem to be on track for a decent sub-40 performance in a little over three weeks time.

Didn’t quite mean for this to be 12 miles in total – had forgotten that with 6 miles of effort, plus recoveries and warm-up/warm-down, it would all add up.

Surprisingly warm easy run

(4 mi @ LT)

Felt a bit hung over today, and legs didn’t feel too strong on the warmup to the track so I wasn’t sure how today’s session would pan out. Felt strong once I got going though and managed a good, consistent pace.

Easy run down to the City

First time I’ve done a morning run commute in a while. Hard work! Don’t like running mornings but intend to start regularly doing these as running fasted is supposed to improve your body’s ability to utilise fat, which is great for the end of marathons.
