After a couple of easyish days wednesday was the day when it was back to the grindstone. No chance of a lunchtime run so it was out at about half four and up to the canal via the Royal then left towards Riddlesden.
At about 3/4 mile i stepped up the pace and hit 6:50 or a bit quicker for 6 miles. Mile 5 was a bit slower into the wind then the last one was 6:41 so a speedy one to end with. The last 3 miles were a pleasant relief at about 8 min pace. 10 miles total, so another good session.
Today held the promise of a nice steady few miles with some folk from work, but an organisational cock up saw me hare off up the canal at about 6:30 pace to try and catch up. I met them at the 2 1/2 mile point so did a far steadier second half at around 8:40 pace!
Day off tomorrow, and maybe Saturday too as Sunday is the Pennine Bridleway relay, with the prospect of 8.5m of racing followed by another 8.5m back to the car. Depending on how I feel I might do a few steady miles Saturday, but won't feel any pressure to do so.
