A really good week now back from holiday. Managed about 3.5 on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday I did a fast strathclyde park I was worried that I could do a fast session and my pace has slowed right down with all the ultra slower runs. My friend gave me an incentive to do it under 26 mins. Having not run it for years and not as ast as that for even longer the pressure was on.
Started off well, good pace and good times at my famiiar landmarks, on track for 26 minutes- I pushed hard all the way and at the home straight I upped the pace for a fast burst slightly earlier than I would normally. As a result the running near sick experience happened about 20 strides before the finish. As I checked the watch 25.59!!! couldn't believe it I did it. This has gave me some confidence for the Pollok 10 in a few weeks.
Today I did 22 miles in 3hours 20 minute, felt good just a bit tired the gradual increase in mileage is working. Although the 1 hour nap on the couch afterwards was really needed.
cheers
