Out and back course along Military Road to the sewerage works.
Never fails to surprise me how an out and back along the same footpath can be nearly 100m out distance wise and thus had to run past the house to get the final 100m!! And as it was on the footpath, no weaving around, so 100m on 3 km is quite a lot.
Did some stretching before going out today (to test it's worthiness) and had no issues whatsoever with sore calves and tiredness. I know a lot of people say static stretching is no good, but safe to say it makes a massive difference to how I perform and today vs my runs in the week are a testament to that.
The second half after the turnaround felt really good and I felt I upped the pace but don't think I did in reality. Not too out of breath either which was great.
Wore the purple shoes, and safe to say I ran faster in them. I ran the marathon in those and although they really are shot and need replacing, the 3 mid week runs were done in the black shoes and were slow and drudgy. The long run, in these and felt like I was cruising along.
Weekly Round up to come in a separate post.
