Sunday Lunchtime - Medium Street Run (11/11/85km)
Today was to be a long run - well 15kms anyway but
it didn't quite pan out the way i wanted it to. It all went
very well for the first 7 or 8kms and i was keeping to
around 5:45 pace. At that point the effort of running in
direct sunlight with no shade anywhere really started
to tell on me. I stopped and refuelled for a few minutes
and continued on at a slightly slower pace for 2
more kms where i had to stop again and rest. This
time though it was for around 15mins and at that
point i decided that i would just run the extra 1km
or so to my place. Not quite what i wanted but i do
not go well in the heat and that means over about
23 for me! What i am pleased about from today is that
i was travelling very nicely and comfortably at 5:45
pace and i haven't been able to do that on the last
couple of long(ish) runs. Hopefully my fitness for long
running is on the way back! Total run 11kms
