24M double; half marathon race & general aerobic run
14M am incl Reading Half Marathon in 69.17 (28th)
10M pm general aerobic run at ~6.30min/M
I should probably be really pleased with today's result: it has been a hard week... 100+ hilly miles at altitude (not to mention skiing). Bit I was hoping to crack the 69 minute barrier. I even thought I would until the last mile - which was up hill just before entering the stadium. I set out at 68 minute pace and held it there until the last of the hills at 7-8 miles (having gone through 10K in 31.59 - a PB of sorts in itself). But I didn't fade much after that and only lost a couple of places after half way.
I had a great post-race massage again. And reaped the benefits on my surprisingly loose and relaxed-feeling evening run.
I'll focus on more tempo running (and one long run) this week.
