Specific Endurance 2:30:02 [2] 28.16 km (5:20 / km) +758m 4:42 / km
slept:8.5 shoes: EVO Speedgoat
Good night sleep again and feeling a lot more normal now. Dogs seem to be back to usual health and antics so get back to some consistency back to sleeping and recovery. Legs were feeling good this morning. Coffee and breakfast and then out the door. Really sunny again and about 13 degrees.
Split the run into two with the first hour at Arthurs Seat and then the second half at Braids and Blackford. Thinking was that it would give a good mix of trails and not too much elevation per hour. Turned out to be pretty dead on and pretty decent.
First 20mins or so took a bit of time to get going and warm up but got moving after that and settled into a nice rhythm. Climbs felt good in the first hour and was in cruise control for flats and descents. Really good fun but the elevation was racking up and still a little front ended. First hour was about 450m.
Second hour went well but as the run went on I started to feel the effects of the heat on the climbs. Still moving okay but definitely started to tire a bit. Last couple of climbs were a grind but then was moving okay on the flats. Last 30 mins I was feeling a little light headed and could have really done with some fluids.
Good run but was lagging a bit in the last 45mins today vs last week’s run. Multitude of factors but a more normal training week, warmer weather, better quality run yesterday and building in volume. Pretty happy overall but need a lie down now and some fluids.
