Legs felt tired today after standing most of yesterday evening at the Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PBs. Calves were also still a little achey from my speed session on Friday. I was therefore in two minds about the 3 miles at LT pace at the end of this run.
Indeed right up until I got to the track I was seriously considering binning it. However by then my calves had loosened up, the legs didn’t feel any more tired, and I knew I’d regret not doing it, so I thought “fuck it” and turned off to the track.
Pleased enough with the pace during the LT three miles given the tired legs. Slowed a little towards the end but I didn’t push it as I didn’t want to risk injury or being too tired for training and the London 10K next week.
