Last weeks aborted long run hangs over me. I need a long run but don't feel great. But I can't wimp out twice in a row. I originally planned a three hour run. After chatting with Richard at the club and looking at the schedule to the Beachy Head Marathon that may be a bit premature.
I run up to Bromley, through the High Street, round to Beckenham. After around one hour I stop and turn back. It's funny because it is prime-time pub time on a Saturday and I'm out running. I was expecting a bit more abuse but I think most people are a bit dumb-struck that someone is out running on Saturday night. It would seems that a Marathon Session on a Saturday night for me these days means a two-hour run.
I am struggling. I think I have a cold and I can still feel Wednesday's exertions. I run within a 400m of the house a couple of timed not tempted to quit. More of a mental than a physical work out.
The average pace just creeps under 7:00/km which even for a Long Slow Run is pretty glacial. I had stopped after 55:00 expecting the return leg to be slower but when I get back it is almost even splits.
This is the kind of run I am just glad to get in the bag.
16:00km 1:51:00
