Long run1:13:00 8.2 mi (8:54 / mi) ahr:165 max:186 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
Despite yesterday's long day of uber fun ending at around 1.30am, I was wide awake at 7.50 this morning (the clocks changing may have something to do with that!) and head out for my long run. Very chilly out there today, but gloriously sunny. East Rock has entirely changed character since I last ran there - the green is all gone and huge swathes of beautiful open woodland have opened up everywhere. Legs felt a bit stiff to start after all the walking yesterday, but sub threshold section in the middle (which will go to low threshold in 4 weeks time) felt really good. Amazing to be awake and done by 10am! Now into the lab...
