Running long 1:09:00 [2] 12.5 km (5:31 / km) +380m 4:48 / km
shoes: Asics DS Trainer 13
Long run from Clare's with Clare, Anna, Rachel, and Su Yan and David, making his first appearance. Rachel, David and I quickly split off the front and did the standard loop. I struggled a bit on the hills, while Rachel looked strong and David kept it together for a while but was starting to tire by the time we hit Boscombe Rd.
Rachel made the cogent point that at 70min, this wasn't long enough to be the 'standard' long run route any more. I don't think she agreed that slowing down instead of running further, as I suggested, was a worthy option. When you compare Rachel's and my recent long distance performances I suppose we would be wise to listen to her.
