On Sunday I ran 8 miles with a plan to run the 1st mile as a warm up with the last 7 miles at faster than sub 9 minute pace. Weather this is a half marathon pace or a marathon pace remains to be seen. I was doing pretty much well up until mile 8 where I started to crease up but the workout was good with the last 7 miles completed at 8.45 pace or so. All good. 22 miles for the week
On Monday I ran a race in Dromcolloger, 4 miles. I last ran this probably in 2015 but the route and set up had not changed. All low ley and familiar. As usual a very small turn out probably less than 150 bodies. The Garmin didn't pick up the GPS until 3 to 4 minutes into the race so the splits were all over the place. I came in at 3.73 miles on my Garmin and I ran the 0.27 myself afterwards just to be sure. I also ran a mile warm up beforehand. Assuming the race was marked correctly (and I assume it was) my official time was 32.33. A decent enough effort considering the way things are now. It will take a while for the race legs to get working.
Wednesday was a 3 mile recovery jog with 6 x 30 sec strides
