20M pm long run at 6.30 (1-15M) and ~5.30 (last 5M)
Another fairly late in the day long run today. And another better than expected one.
I was tired before yesterday's race, let alone after it and felt pretty heavy legged for parts of the (gentle) first three quarters of today's long run. But one I decided to give a bit of speed a go, I felt much better. I didn't want to over do it the day after a race, so pushing the last five miles seemed like a sensible option (I had actually meant to run the middle third fast but was too busy feeling sorry for myself and my heavy legs at that stage to realise it'd be fine). 5.30 felt not to bad - the sort of speed that comes without too much of a push once I get up on my toes.
I am aiming for another fairly solid week ahead of the Southerns.
