6.7km loop like I promised myself, 28:15.
Not bad, can feel the old form coming back a bit, the key difference was that run on wednesday under my belt as well as having a bit more of a purpose, mentally tonight.
Happy out, 3 mins flat TC1, 7:15 TC2, 12:16 TC3, 13:40 TC4, & 19:40 at roundabout & 24:57 before decending the final hill before the pharmacy. Right there or there abouts.
Lost at least 2 mins tonight through lack of agility & not having any moxie etc..
yeah, was on 60-70% effort tonight but had the foot down all the time -or at least I was attentive enough not to let the foot off the gas too much...
Cycling to work 2moro morning early so conserved my sprint at the end too, really felt it in my chest as I pushed hard for the 1st time genuinely in I'd say the last month.
Only 1 problem however, I've an ache under m right kneecap now, tender to touch, my other knee was perfect tonight, the slight twinge but that subsided as it usually has done for me in recent times
I hope they're just niggles & will sort themselves out, aside from that I've nothing stopping me except for a load of excuses & procrastination.
Weather was kind tonight, ideal for running, maybe 11 degrees, dry with little wind. more or less perfect really.
No complaints, no excuses, it's on!
despite the good attitude however, I may not run the craughwell 10 miler this year (in late march) as my knee could mess me up we'll wait & see, I might do a few 8 milers in the next fortnight & see how I respond to that, all I know is that I must do at least 2-3 runs a week & ramp up the cycling intensity for me to get back to where I was at in December, whilst not doing myself an injury...
The mental side of running is underrated though, it's as much a mind game than anything else...
