The dreaded speedwork tonight, as usual I needed to keep telling myself that it’s all worth it on the long runs but squeezing out that last of three 1600m fast runs is always a tough one – especially as my route always seems to put that last one uphill!
The one consolation was that as I turned the corner onto the last hill I bumped into the local running club just starting the same climb and so the incentive to take them all on really gave me a boost – especially when they all gave up halfway up the hill and I steamed past with 5.5 miles already on the clock by then!
The GPS download for tonight is on my Garmin Dashboard here.
See you Saturday after my 18 miler…
