Wednesday 1 August 2018

Decent run tonight in excellent conditions. Not too hot and barely a breeze.

Set off for 10 miles wanting to replicate last Wednesday's effort of averaging 7:35/mile pace. However, felt good after first 3 miles which felt sluggish and under-fueled, this despite eating two sandwiches for lunch (chicken and tuna).

Once the early fatigue and weariness passed I managed to pick the pace up and finished strongly. I even slowed in the penultimate mile thinking I had run hard enough only to see 6:55 pop up on the watch. I pushed on and marked another sub 7:00 minute mile.

Last four miles averaged 7:00/mile. Need to push this midweek 10 mile run towards averaging 6:50-6:30/mile.
