A good long run

21M pm long run at ~7.00-6.30min/M

My legs were a bit tight after yesterday's race this morning. A good thing. No particular problem area. And though my calves were the tight part immediately after the race, they weren't noticeably different from the rest of me today.

I met up with Duncan and Henry for a tour of North London. Running around here is going to be great. I couldn't tell you the route we took in great detail, but it headed North, across to the Heath Extension, through to Dollis Valley (?) and out towards Totteridge. I'm not sure quite where we were at the furthest reaches of the run, but we were running in fields. Didn't seem like London.

We kept it fairly steady in the first half - 7 minute miles over pretty mixed terrain - before picking it up a bit for the return - 6 and a half minute miles. A perfect work-out after yesterday's race. It wss a 17 mile route to/from Duncan's house and another four or so gently making my way there and back. My legs are feeling good now.

A good weekend to complement the excellent training I got in the first half of the week.
