| Trying to keep the pace |
Day 156
9 miles, to the burbs and back (Beckenham Place Park from Hillyfields), with Sarah, Jacqui and Ted
Last night's unexpected turn of events meant this morning's planned easy run was clouded by a Champagne hangover and heavy legs. In the week after a marathon, however, any run that you do is bound to bear the imprint of the 26.1 (let alone the 29) mile slog for a week or so. The ache in the hips came on within an hour, and an overhelming desire to rest and recoup was only to be expected. It was important to try to run 10k in a decent time (in fact 8 minutes over my PB) to check that I could. I'm pacing for the Women's Running magazine 10K race on 27 September, so it's important to know that running and talkin ad carrying a banner is all possible. Given that my 10k PB is aroun 46minutes, 55min pacing should be doddle, but you can never be too prepared. A piece of advice my son should have heeded (TBC).
