Slightly late in reporting, but my little girl's addiction to youtube has left me without internet for a week. THE HORROR!
On Sunday morning I escaped my First World Problems and punched out 14.6km, or a little over 9mi along the beach. Another 'longest BF run ever' and starting to sneak up on the longest run of any kind that I can remember doing. I'm trying to get into the 'long run' mindset with a view towards half marathon or maybe even something longer in a couple of years, but first things first.
As per usual, the plodding set in at around 9-10km, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to turn things around slightly and pick up the pace a little towards the finish to scrape in with an average pace of exactly 8:00 per mile - that's a fast long run for me. I don't know if that was a second wind, or just the finish calling me at the end. I think I was getting close to the current limit of my feet at the moment though - they were starting to feel a little weary at the end and I feel like I stopped at the right time.
