off road 2:45:00 [3] 14.8 mi (11:09 / mi)
Long run with Mark in Wales. Two big hills pleased to run the first (Machan)but only made it to 80% on the second (somewhere?) might have made it to the top if I was not conscious that it was still a long way back and that I was with a very strong runner. Really pleased that the hill climbing was better. We did not do the third hill (Twmbarlwm) as short of time which was a shame as I am not sure how many pieces Mark would have broken me into. Instead we ran along the canal at what seemed to be quite an honest pace.
A really good session and hope to be repeated. I have done few sessions like this in recent times but it was pretty standard to do this sort of thing reasonably regularly as M21. I don't think the local young guns do this but it does help with stamina.
Only downside is that knee is a bit sore which could either be the canal or lots of downhill
