Running 41:47 [3] 8.46 km (4:56 / km) +80m 4:43 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Steady trot before work thing at the Birds and Bees. Started running at 5.50pm ahead of scheduled 6pm social start so couldn't really manage a longer session - probably just as well as legs felt tired (although can't manage a run tomorrow anyway).
Arrived back just in time for the food :)
Quiz didn't finish until gone 10pm with 4am start tomorrow :(

Running intervals 1:10:45 12.21 km (5:48 / km) +100m 5:34 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Long intervals round the loch with Ross, Rog, Fi and Abi. Warmup then 3 laps with 3-4 mins rest in between. Although it would probably have been better had that been 3-4 mins jog in between instead.
Quads (left quad especially) feeling effects of recent days and no jog yesterday.
Times of 9:21, 9:29, 9:32. Lap is 2.31km so under marathon pace but over half-marathon pace. And trying quite hard! Hmmm.

Stretching 1:00:00 [0]
Tempted to go out but a day off seemed wise. Did a good hour of stretching, using The Stick, massage, rolling on a golf ball, etc. Ouch.

Running 1:28:51 [3] 19.25 km (4:37 / km) +50m 4:33 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Almost pulled a rest day but glad I went out - not quite pain free yet but the least pain running since last few days of June. Also helped by the fact the swelling and bruising on my lower left leg (from Day 4) is almost gone - just a little bit of heat and soreness still at the impact point.
So not entirely coincidentally this was the first run in nearly seven weeks when I have actually felt able to pick up the pace a bit. Also quite pleasing given that I was struggling a bit by the end of the long run two days ago - could still feel a bit of heaviness/tightness in my quads from that today. Ran strongly but fairly comfortably at a little slower than marathon pace, just eased off a little at the end as core tightened up slightly.
Still plenty of work to do, but definitely some positive signs today :)
