Running 37:00 [3] 7.5 km (4:56 / km) +50m 4:46 / km
The "How to take it easy when you want to run your heart out" loop. I am somewhat tired from yesterday, maybe from the sprints, maybe from driving home without a good cool down. I rather would run more, but I guess I have to give my body some time off to recover. I always feel when I do easy runs, I have less energy. I guess I like to adrenaline kick of a good fast run.
Think about the head-to-head racing or regular interval starts. I prefer the intervals, despite the thrill of head to head. It is not much of a thrill, when you are dumped so unceremoniously by some fast younger legs or passed in the last meters. I prefer the crafty classic approach of orienteering myself, with an occasional boost by passing or being past by a runner started before or after.
Racing in a mass start like the Highlander or the Billygoat is something else, because there is plenty of time for strategy, mistakes and exhaustion in such a race.
