Notes
Long run in Deansgrange (3 laps) and then onto the roads for another 4 miles to finish off. Once again we started off nice and slowly and as a result the first 70 mins was really quite easy. I had no probs and we were chatting comfortably the whole way. Once we hit the roads we cranked it up a bit and for the last 15 or so minutes I started to feel a little pressure. Oscar was strong and pushing the pace quite a bit. I stayed with him but it was hirting me more that I expected. I was never in any danger of stopping or losing speed but I just had to work when we increased the speed. Thrilled with the run even though it was a tough finish. Stretched a lot afterwards and writing this the next morning and the legs feel ok. Great long run and delighted to get to 90 mins and 11 miles - very close to race distance now with 2 long runs to go. I expect to come on quite a lot from runs like this.
