Off-road running long 2:31:25 [3] 29.52 km (5:08 / km) +227m4:56 / km ahr:140 max:159 shoes: Icebug Bugforce
Nice route to symonshyde and heartwood. V off-roady and slow going at times. Time to back off a little bit over the next few days, this run was good for time on my feet but I’d like to do a few quicker long runs over the coming weeks.

12x 1km tempo off 60s Keen to get some good long intervals sessions in. It was easy to keep this one conservative with the buggy and feeling sleepy from a rough night. But 50-odd mins at thresheold/marathon pace is good and hopefully the more sedate buggy pace means I recover quick.

Ran it differently to when I was focusing on the mile, aiming for good solid consistent pacing without going crazy. Felt pretty good especially as I thought the session was 25 mins and it was only 20. Distance 100-200m down on previous times I’ve run this - but this was net uphill and my hr was around 10bpm lower so I think this was a stronger run.

Aiming to run marathon pace at marathon effort on tired legs. Goal achieved so now the plan is to run something like this a few more times but with longer marathon pace stretches before & after.
