Got up early. Plan was 1 hour on my own, 1 hour with the early Friday group, then final hour with the 9;15 group.
Roadworks meant I got there a bit late but did 45 minutes on my own – went down to the seafront, met the 8:10 group right on time. OMG that route is hideous – my legs were hurting and dead plus the heat. Did about 10 minutes of Steve’s run to the bottom of Alexandra park and called it.. was fuelling and drinking but had nothing.
(and my kayak trip tomorrow has been cancelled!)
Sorry this was such a struggle. Any kind of change up to the routine, especially for such a long run like this can be tough. What has worked for me in the past is making some kind of adventure out of these runs. Eastbourne to Hastings, or the Cuckoo Trail, even the 1066 country path is logistics allow. Someone to make it different, less of a grind. Sorry to hear about the kayak trip although it does provide the opportunity to find those missing 65 mins if you wanted?
