A fairly long one in the frosty Northamptonshire hills

18M - long run (with hills) at 6.40min/M

I roused myself and my emotions for a long run this morning after yesterday's fantastic wedding. It was beautifully crisp and frosty. I meandered through all manner of pretty, stonebuilt villages to arrive 18 miles later where I left my car outside the church yesterday. The hills and the slippiness were worst at the beginning and I hit my rhythm at about half distance.

I still felt fresh at the end, but had to stop to fit in my social timetable for the day. I ran the 18 off 200ml of lucozade and no other fuelling. Probably good training. I seem to have good glycogen stores. Nice brekkie and lunch after.
