28M am long run at 6.30-6.20min/M
I ran another properly long one this morning - 28 miles steadily. I warmed up for a couple of miles before picking it up to 6.30 pace. For the rest of the run I kept the pace fairly even, but slowly speeding up towards 6.20min/M. I didn't want to push it.
I had pre-fuelled and had a Lucozade at half distance, which probably helped me feel a fair bit better than on the steady 26.2 I ran a few weeks ago. Over the last 8 or 9 miles, my legs began to hurt. It was a general, burning, fatigue-type ache and they weren't tight and I could keep the pace up just by concentrating on keeping good form. Hopefully this will help my endurance and give me confidence in the later stages of the race.
