A.M. Another mild weather day and the luxury of going out later in the morning. I ran my roller coaster loop but reversed it to add interest and set myself a challenge, to end up with an average pace of 4:35/k, 20s within my gmp of 4:15/k. This was a very hard effort today, I pushed myself constantly but every time I was getting close to my challenge av pace the next uphill would set me back. At the top of the last hill I was at av 4:38/k, 1k downhill and 1k flat left to run and I just went all out to the end. Didn't think it was going to go under but I was well pleased to see that I'd cracked it at the end. Total 25k in 1:54:07, av pace 4:34/k, 7:21/mi. |
