Running long 2:14:25 [3] 25.77 km (5:13 / km) +368m 4:52 / km
shoes: Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit Blue
Long run over to Reabold and back. After warming up in the first km I felt quite good for the second km through Shenton Bushland but felt as though I ran out of energy at that point and got really hungry. Only 24km to go before breakfast, hopefully it will make me burn off some fat at least.
Hit the Reabold trails and decided to try to cover all the tracks, generally working from South to North. Soon forgot about the tiredness and hunger and started to feel reasonably good again with my mind occupied on planning the route. Crossed paths with GA on Hovea Walk and about that time started to realise I was going to struggle to cover all the tracks in the distance I had planned. I think this made me pick up the pace a bit as my body seemed to think I would be able to cover more tracks in the same distance if I just ran faster. Ended up leaving out two stretches of a few hundred metres each which I needed one more loop of about 2km to cover.

Running 1:35:06 [3] 17.92 km (5:18 / km) +139m 5:07 / km
shoes: Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit Orange
Around the river past Tawarri staying on the grass then back up into KP. Little surge up the broadwalk at the end trying to catch Nic and Dan but they surged just before I got to them so I shouted at them and turned for home. Tagged Rachel on her way out at the edge of Rosalie as I came back in.
Felt pretty tired again. I think I've been pushing the long runs a bit too much, thinking marathon pace is still 4:10 when really it is probably 4:30+. Switched the gps to show distance only and just ran by feel today. I think that approach is going to work better for me, just hope it isn't too late to recover.
