Road Running 1:43:21 [3] 15.51 mi (6:40 / mi) +195m 6:25 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Cumulus
Given I'm meant to be doing a half marathon in just over a month I figured I should actually remind my legs what running on road for a reasonable length of time feels like. Probably my longest road run in close to 5 years and I can't remember the last time I did over an hour outside of a session which is a bit more stop start.
Wee jog from the car too meet Juan and Olivier at Juan's then did a nice loop out towards the seat and down the innocent cycle path to portobello and back up Leith walk. Trying to keep a decent pace for most of it and doing some faster portions at about 6 min/mile pace. Bit of looping back so I didn't lose the guys. Stopped the faster stuff at 10/11 miles as Juan and Olivier were struggling and decided to keep it easier the rest of the way back. Always felt pretty comfortable and relaxed though.
Hopefully a useful sort of session. Might try and do one or two more before the half. Route was a bit too busy with people and traffic for my liking though.
