I got a long run in after work last night. The run was okay, but I was very tired after it and was dreading the run all day at work. However, I have had to rearrange the training days this week so unfortunately I had no choice this week. I mentioned in my last post that I wanted to run at around 09:30 min/mile (ideally slower) and I'm pleased that I did it.
I averaged 09:31, and the splits are below.
1 9:32
2 9:32
3 9:28
4 9:34
5 9:29
6 9:33
7 9:41
8 9:30
9 9:27
10 9:19
11 9:47
12 9:48
13 9:33
14 9:26
15 9:34
16 9:43
I did struggle on miles 10-12 which was on a slight incline, and I was very tired after the session but I'm glad I went out. Part of the tiredness I think was due to the fact that I was at work all day, so hopefully I'll be able to build the miles up slowly over the next few weeks. Due to the decreased pace on some of the inclines, I wonder if I need to start doing some hill sessions?
Having said that though, February is a bit of a strange month and my plan doesn't show much of an increase in the longer-run mileage due to a couple of planned events. The plan is:
w/c: 4th Feb. 13.1 mile (Exeter Half event where I'm hoping for a PB).
w/c: 11th Feb. 18 mile
w/c: 18th Feb. 15 mile long
w/c: 25th Feb. 13.1 mile (Bideford Half event).
