60 Minutes Moderate Run 55:04 [3] 5.2 mi (10:35 / mi) +19m 10:28 / mi
slept:8.0
Garmin took at least 5 minutes to detect a signal. Started off with a warm up (walking) then eased into the run until I reached a steady pace - similar to the pacing I used in Sunday's Wirral Way Trail Half Marathon.
Eased back for the last mile then followed this with light jogging and walking to cool down.
Around 5.5 miles in total.
Nordic Walking 50:40 [1] 3.04 mi (16:38 / mi) +73m 15:29 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Triumph
A cold and foggy night for this plus a frost was starting to form so didn't stay out that long.

Unspecified (Wirral Trail Half Mara) 2:08:55 [2] 13.09 mi (9:51 / mi) +62m 9:42 / mi
slept:7.0 shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
My Garmin shows 2:08 though the official results show 2:10. My time is nothing spectacular but I was treating this as a long run and practice for my ultras.
I loved this race! Felt strong and comfortable from the start and ran it as if I were doing a Steady Run. Faster than regeneration and easy runs. I started off slowly then eased into the run, thinking along the lines of negative splits although I may have done this the other way around. I focused on form, cadence and as smooth action.
I wanted to stay under 10 min/miling - ideally 9.30 or less but that will require more work. However, I wasn't disappointed with my performance as it is the start of the race season.
No twinges at all! Nothing throughout the race even though it was on a hard surface.
It was one of those days when you have a good run/race and enjoy it.
Nordic Walking 1:02:51 [1] 4.01 mi (15:41 / mi) +3m 15:39 / mi
