Longer and pretty brisk

18M am long crescendo run

We headed to Blenheim Palace today to run around the park. There is a great 5 mile loop. Mainly on tarmac. And gently undulating. Good for a long run.

Yasmin was doing a 10 miler, so we ran the warm up at the beginning of the first loop together. I then headed out fairly hard and built the speed as I went. My Garmin was back in London, so I didn't get exact splits, but I ran the last two loops at marathon effort and the loop before those at not far below. So I was well under 6 minute miles for all but the beginning. It felt pretty good.
