This was my last long run before the Reading Half Marathon, I will be tapering after this. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the first day that did not feel cold in ages. We ran along the Regent's Canal, up to Primrose Hill and then onto Gospel Oak and then onto Hampstead Heath, around the heath and then back down the canal again, before the others headed back to Primrose Hill for a bit of a longer session and I ran back to the changing rooms. This was a good pace, although I did feel sluggish in the last part heading back (I had an energy gel, though my feet still felt like lead I am sure it helped). I am looking forward to the Half-Marathon immensely, I hope I will set a new PB!
Distance: 11.5 miles / 18.5km (roughly)
Time: 1 hour 45 minutes 31 seconds
Conditions: Sunny and warm. Dry surfaces, some mud underfoot on the trails through Hampstead Heath. My legs ached a bit afterwards but felt fine all the way around the course. I did feel tired in the last 2-3km, even though I consumed an energy gel.
