Well, that hurt. Quite a lot.
Ran from home out to the start of the Percy Pud and ran 6 miles of the route at marathon pace. Back down to Malin Bridge and out along Rivelin Valley Road and the A57 to the dam, then 4 miles at marathon pace back to Malin Bridge. To Hillsbro and out along Middlewood Road to just past the Middlewood tavern, then 2 miles at marathon pace back to Hillsbro. Finished off with a broken shuffle up the hill home. The sections broke down as:
Had a bad patch in section 5 going out through Middlewood and thought I might have to drop the last tempo section, but gave myself a good talking to and actually felt better once I picked the pace up and was heading back. Tough session, but great to have it in the bag.
