Taking it easy in group 5
As you can see from the missing entry from yesterday, I took an extra day off as I could still feel Sunday's 4 hours in my legs. Tonight I head off for club night.
I need to be tapering ahead of the 32 mile ultra in a couple of weeks. I bravely decide to go with group 5. Initially it is good but there are some faster people here intent on pushing, pushing the pace. I decide that it's not worth mixing it up and stay rooted to the back. The pack splits and reconvenes, but in reality some of the faster runners should probably form a group 6.
I never really hit the heights of the other weeks group 5 run, partly because I am trying to be disciplined and partly because I can still feel Sunday.
At 5 minute km (8 minute miles) the pace is still pretty decent.
I saw Jerry before the race who is also doing the moonlight challenge(the 32 miles) We chatted about the logistics of the run. This has just built my excitement.
