23:16 for about 5.5k (I need to measure this route - I never do this particular route so I must find out another time)
6.5k all up.
This was supposed to be a 5 miler that I decided to cut short due to time constraints due to me being in the middle of sitting exams.
I built on the run from Friday although it didn't seem to help very much.
Whilst I didn't necessarily struggle on route it felt rather laboured.
When I passed Lisk, I was at 18:02 & I had decided to run for home rather than go up circular road & join back onto the Loughrea road - I never really do this, but decided to give myself a break & get home. I gave a kick towards the end but you should see my kicks - they are feeble at best!
I then did a loop round for a cool down.
Nice to get out though & the roads are back to normal now with no ice as the temps have returned to normal & showers on & off throughout the day.
Happy with this & will look to do a 10k on Tuesday to set me up.
I'll then (most likely) do a 5k hard session on Thursday & then do some grass running on Sunday.
Might cycle saturday to keep the body ticking over with some rep city for good measure.
Re Running I'm back in form now, as such. I'll crank up the work rate & mileage now next week.
As ever, watch the increase in the mileage - I still need to be so careful, as always.
