21M am long run at 6.15 (0-6M), 5.45 (7-13), 5.20 (13-17) & 5.20 effort uphill (17-21)
I got up early today for my long run so that I could fit in everything else I needed to in the day. It was a lucky decision in terms of the weather as I managed to run half of it without snow and during the second half, the snow was still light/shallow enough to keep a good speed up.
It was pretty cold and the fast half was still a bit hampered by the snow, so I was pleased with how easy the different paces (6.15, then 5.45 and then 5.20) felt. The 5.20, in particular, was pleasing because the snow was getting going by then and I held it fairly comfortably for 3.5 miles until I turned up the hill from the river and onto icy roads home.
I think I was helped partly by the lower mileage I have run this week (even if the runs I did were relatively long and hard).
