20 good miles (including 15 fast and slow)

20M - double; 5M recovery & 15M fast and slow
5M am recovery run at ~6.15min/M
15M pm fast (~5.30min/M) and slow (~6.45min/M)

That has to be my best day in a while. I fitted in an early morning little five miler, just tootling along the South Bank and back (before a morning meeting at UCL).

My legs thought they were tired during the day, but that chocolate cornflake nibble I had before my evening run obviously did a trick. I felt great as soon as I got going. My fast miles felt like race pace - the first time they've felt this good for a while. I did the first six with my pack. The last nine (mainly around Battersea Park) were super bouncy. And I was tempted to carry on beyond 15 when I got home.

And here's a thing: looking back at the last 7 days, I've run more than 100 miles (104 to be precise)! That's a first for me. I think I'm on a bit of a running high. Or perhaps it's just a sugar low. Or something. Food required.
