Running 2:47:53 [3] 36.35 km (4:37 / km) +13m 4:37 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5 2013
Had this down as a key session - have been feeling my training has been a bit lacking in the long runs, and in particular long runs in road shoes on flat tarmac as opposed to moorland in minging weather!
Despite the state of other parts of the country, lucky to have no snow below about 150m height around here, so the Carse was ideal. Even if the road is quite exposed and the wind was strong and very cold...so yet again it was jacket, gloves and hat, think I may have had to wear them for every long run.
Stashed lucozade and gels at the A84 crossing and came through there at 4.6, 8.5 and 17.7 miles, taking the gels after the latter two. Wind more relentless than gusting, and from the east - which meant an awful lot of the last 13miles was into it.
Pleased with how it went, legs feeling it a bit in various places towards the end but no drop off in pace (splits 4&6 virtually the same).
Easier few days now before the JK.
