Training Session Week 2, Day 3 (yes … I put the wrong day number on the last run – blame the Santa Suit)
Goal: 6 miles in 9 minute miles
Actual: 6.93 miles in 9 minute miles … if you include the pub stop.
I have a confession. My pace looks pretty much bang on. However, this is because I ran a little bit too fast. Yes you read that right.
I stopped at the pub for a call of nature. Unfortunately, not one of the mulled wine variety. And I left the Garmin running by mistake. I came out of the pub and my Garmin informed me I was currently moving at 59.59 minutes a mile. Bother.
I carried on running. My pace wouldn’t be correct and I had made an unscheduled stop but I could carry on running at the correct pace and for the correct distance. However, distracted by heavy sleet and the thought of a turkey sandwich at home I sped up a bit too much and came in at a 9.15 minute/mile including the pub stop. Average moving pace of 8.51 minute/mile so all in all not too far off.
