Having swapped my Thursday tempo run for some cycling and rowing at the gym as I was feeling a bit tired and still harbouring the remnants of a cold, I tried to do a combined long run and tempo today, with the aim of running down to Regent’s Park, running a couple of loops of Outer Circle, then getting the bus back from Camden (as I didn’t want to overdo it on the mileage front). In the end I only managed just under three miles at an average of 7:40 pace, which is faster than the planned 7:50, but much shorter than the 5 miles I had planned. Bit disappointed with myself, and kind of wish I had pushed on a bit further. Still, hopefully next week I’ll be 100% healthy and can push on further.
