Long Run Friday...
Saturday is long run day. Friday is the day off before the long run. That's the plan and that's what I've been following! But this weekend I am away on Saturday/Sunday, so I needed to adapt... I did Monday to Wednesday as normal, but I skipped the Thursday run, to have a day off before the long run today. This means I am free this weekend - yay ๐. Today was the same plan as last Saturday but with an extra five minutes. So 175m rather than 170m - not exactly a big change. But I found last Saturday very hard and, surprise, I found today very hard too!! The last long run was 30.95km, and 20 miles is about 32.18km, so my plan today was to up the pace a tiny bit from last week, and with the extra 5 minutes running I could try and hit 32.18km! Much easier said than done!! I did it by mainly running at 11.7kmh on the treadmill and then 35m or so at 12kmh. My total distance was 32.21km, but that included an extra 9 seconds...
