Week 9, Day 3
Goal: 11 miles at 8:30 – 9 min/mile
Actual: 11.3 miles at 8:40 min/mile
This run was thankfully uneventful apart from a brief stop
off at Asda about Mile 7. In
hindsight, going to an ‘All You Can Eat’ chilli night an hour before the run probably
wasn’t one of my brightest ideas. Although I was running a lot better AFTER I
stopped at Asda.
My legs were feeling quite tired for this run. I’d like to
be able to blame this on the VO2 Max cycle test I had 4 hours earlier but that
was only about 12 minutes long. So probably not an excuse I could really get
away with.
3 things I saw on my run: a fox running across the road in
front of me and into the hedge, a drunk man trying to climb over the railings
into the road, snow on the banks sparkling in the light of my headtorch.
(I'll pop a post on with the results of the fitness test shortly ... including the Vo2 max results)
