Doing this run the day after an interval session I wasn't sure how the legs would feel but bizarrely enough they felt great! There was a strong headwind for much of the run but this didn't seem to matter and I spent the second half banging out 7:20 miles with little apparent effort. Just a good day at the office I guess.
And that is the last 14 mile midweek run done. Getting up early enough to do 14 or 15 miles before work has been a challenge, especially when it is pitch black outside. However you really get a feeling of accomplishment afterwards. If you want to beat people in races you need to do something that they aren't doing and getting up at 5:30 am for a 15 mile run in the dark and cold probably isn't that common in my running club!
