03.05.2020 - 8 miler - 1:01:29
This was an interesting run where I did it with my mother while she was out walking back in Ireland - had her on the earphones while I ran, she walked - it was a nice touch. I had walked circa 5 miles earlier in the afternoon - did the run @ 6pm - meant to walk 5k but ended up extending it due to walking through new fields I hadn't seen before - looking for a possible running route.
Went out very conservative - still though 04:03 @ TC1 etc. quite a decent hit out but I felt good throughout. Weather was nice - 16 degrees, no rain.
No foot issues apart from when I wanted to pick up the pace round mile 6 where I was starting to blister the balls of my feet so I had to hold back.
This is better training when I used to do 8 miles in 58 mins because at least this time round I'm not going to burn out & get an overuse injury etc...
Havn't posted here in a while - due to Covid, all races have been cancelled so I've been doing roughly 10-20 miles a week - always getting out at least twice a week & I have been doing more cycling recently also.
looking good now heading into the summer - consistent training while I can.
Might try the 1k repeats on Tuesday - see how my feet are.
