I just finished a 10.07km run that lasted about 0hh:45mm:48ss !
3 weeks on Sunday and I'll be running the Southampton Marathon, so I really don't have much time for any rest after my race last Sunday. Today was a hard workout, heading out on a 10km loop at tempo for 3km, running 4km at a steady-pace, and then back to tempo for the final 3km. Mostly it went to plan, but I did blow up a little bit in the second of the two big hills as my legs just felt so, so heavy and I was really straining my calves pushing myself up the hill. And the final mile was intended to be a flat-out sprint, but about halfway into it I just had nothing left so had to ease up.
On a positive note, my GPS actually connected before the run today and it gave me split times as it normally would. If I'm honest, I actually quite liked pacing my race by feel, and I've decided that for my 32km (20 mile) longer run in the lead up to Southampton, I'll do the same (switching my watch to display only distance and HR).
