14 miles slow

Wednesday was recovery day - four miles slow along my old route. Once again I discovered that my old measurements were a bit short!

Thursday was a 7 mile tempo run. Splits were:

7:40
7:15
7:15
7:05
6:55
6:50
8:10

I am doing tempo runs properly with only miles 3 to 6 being at tempo pace (half marathon speed.)

Due to being away for the weekend I had to do my long run on Friday. This was 14 miles down the Middlewood Way. My average pace was 7.50 min/mile and I did the last mile in under 7 mins for a negative split. Overall it felt comfortable.

This week I am in Madrid with temperatures up to 30 degrees forecast. Better pack the running bottle!
