Dragged myself out of bed and was pounding the road just after 6am. Weather was favourable with a fairly strong headwind on the more open roads. Run went well, breathing and stamina felt fine although I did feel like I was wearing spaceman boots for the last couple of miles!
Covered 16.22 miles in 2hrs 41 mins averaging just under 10 min/miles.
Given this was another 2.22 miles farther than I've ran in my life I'm quite happy with the progress. Reckon I could have battered out a couple more hard miles.
Just 10 more miles and I've met the required quota for Inverness.
:-)
Ah 20 miles in 2 weeks time!

Bloody brilliant Al, just bloody brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you can run 16 miles and have a positive experience bodes very well for Inverness.
Cheers Dave, you've no idea how much the positive encouragement helps mate.
