First bite at a return to long Sunday runs. 75 minutes was probably about it before foot issues. Will try 80 next week.
Off to Marne trig via diagonal track and return with a bit extra added.

A good walk ruined at -1 degrees. Water was freezing on the club heads.

Longlea. Its a quite flat and vague area. The navigation can be quite straightforward--- if you stay near the red line. All of this means this is an area where there is no excuse not to be running at your maximum sustainable pace for the whole course. No excuse to save yourself. And so it can be quite an exhausting area. My straight line kilometre rate (in an area where straight line kilometre rates mean something) was 6.38. Fifteen years ago I was running this area at close to 6, but never quite got there. So I suppose today's rate was pretty good for me. I have always felt confident in my navigation in this sort of area.

Run on Bullock Creek. Ran out of time and weather.

Hard Mackenzie. It must be winter. Back on the most hilly combination I can create between here and town. Not much flat on this track. The 1m contour map says 250 metres climb. Garmin says 90. I know who I believe.
