Notes
Really good long run with Oscar. I was hoping that my good form from earlier in the week would carry over to the longf run but I wasn't sure. Oscar is on an easy week so only did 90 mins this week as well. Started off at a good pace and after about 40 mins we veered off into Farmleigh for a change of scenery. The first few mins of that loop were tough and the legs were tired but then again it was mainly a long slow uphill on grass so not easy. After Farmleigh the legs got going again. Around the hour mark I went through another mini rough patch but quickly snapped out of it. Took a gel after about 75 mins and fromn there all the way home ran very strongly. I was very strong on the hills especially but overall a great long run. My rough sections were very minor and same as the rest of the week I got into my running very quickly. The pace never went much slower than 8 min miles and in the 3km from the park we slowly picked it up. Felt fresh at the end and felt like there was another 10 - 15 mins in me without too much effort. Brings to an end a brilliant weeks training - as good a weeks training as I can remember !
