Hinsley and I went out for a nice steady 8 miles after work on Monday, which was at an average 8 min mile pace - Rich found it a bit tougher than me I think, as he's still struggling a bit with his knee, but my HR was acceptably low at an average of 131.
Then nothing all week except a fair bit of driving, one night of very heavy drinking (and hysterical laughter - think "fat bloke lunging"...) and a crashing hangover. It's also getting stupidly busy at work, with travelling up to Newcastle most weeks, preparing for assessments and worst of all Linz left today. I'm grumpy about that - so now I'm PA-less as wel as busy. Arse.
Today's run was a post-work 5 miler. There's a pattern developing here - no lunchtime runs for ages. It's definitely harder to push yourself into getting out after work, even when the weather's nice, but once we;re back from jollies I'm going to have to get into GNR training, as assuming the start's ok it should be fairly fast.
I ran from Silsden again today and ran up to the canal a bit quicker than usual at about 7:30 pace, then did a couple of miles at about 6:25 pace before slowing down again back to the car. The effort felt ok, but it's odd to think that I was running 4 miles at that pace at the end of a 20-miler a few months ago. More mileage needed...
