First time since joining RGActive I’d managed to get out and meet the team and to do a group ride.
Turned up at Loughton at about 8:40 ready for the 9am start.
Lunchtime 10km, first time back through Wormwood Scrubs park for several months.
Almost regretted putting a base layer on.
Tight hamstrings still and didn’t really loosen up during the run. Definitely a rest day tomorrow.
Weekly totals:
Three runs, including a half-marathon long run on Sunday morning.
Finally managed the motivation to get out of bed early on a Sunday for a long run.
7am out the house running in a fasted state.
Target was a 20km run which would have been a new distance record anyway.
Also a new PB for 15km and 10 miles of 1:17:30 and 1:23:13 respectively.
First half-marathon time of 1:48:33.
Run out with Yavor and his flat mate Antonio, Tony’s knees still aching and Mark off for the Paris Marathon.
Intention was for 5km but talked Yav into a little but further when we hit the canal.
Snowed whilst we were out, but got heavier on the way back. Left Yav and Antonio behind a bit on the canal and had to wait for them at the turn around point, made sure I ran with them on the way back.
