Running 2:45:00 [3] 18.0 mi (9:10 / mi)
shoes: La Sportiva C-Lite
Surrey Hills - third attempt, still don't think I've worked out how to pace this, get the feeding right or how to ensure the legs are still feeling ok towards the end. Maybe it's partly down to a combination of the 'terrain' and the slightly faster pace than the usual 'long run' pace. Calves started to twinge on the way down from 10, but never cramped properly.
Still, a PB by 8 minutes, even with taking the wrong path on the last part of Leith, and not quite getting the final approach to 9 correct. Finally got the alternative Pitch - Holmbury route right though, but I don't think it saves anything - only split significantly slower (by 20") than 2010, in fact, when I took the road option.
And a bit annoyed afterwards to see that the upper of these shoes has started to separate from the sole at the widest part of the foot...
