Had a slightly achey calf after the long run yesterday, whcih was a slight concern. Felt ok this morning, just a slight nag going downstairs. Started today’s run fully willing to stop if the calf hurt, but it felt fine after half a mile, and feels good after the run. Will keep an eye on it, but hopefully nothing to worry about.

Pleased with the pace today – first time I’ve done an LSR at this effort level with an average pace sub-8:00 min/mi. Especially as this came at the end of another 60+ mile week.
Mini-taper for the Bright10 race on Sunday, so an easier week next week.

First time at Finsbury parkrun – nice course and only two laps which somehow makes it feel shorter. Hilly though so definitely not a PB course!
HRM played up for first half, so tried to run by feel. Definitely need to practice running downhill fast, so might try to make this course a regular visit.

GPS a bit screwy today, pretty sure pace should have been faster on the early section of the course. Strava backs this up, giving me an extra 0.2 miles.

5 min jog recovery after 2 miles, 3 min jog recovery after 1 mile repeats. Given my 10K time at the weekend I’ve revised my goal to 39:30. Was a bit unsure how the legs would feel but they coped well and everything felt decent. I’m pleased with the consistency of the splits.
Last interval slightly hampered by some little shits who thought it was funny to run in front of me, but thankfully a City of London employee dealt with them fairly promptly.
