A good bit of variation on a 2 hour long run. Not too demanding but it breaks it up nicely and also gets you practicing half marathon pace on tired legs.

Well that was a tough way to end a recovery week was very hot out there once the sun came through and the boby was running out of fuel towards the end, done just under 18mile. Bumped into the HR group on my cool down so ran with them for a couple of minutes which was nice. Felt pretty strong throughout 💪

I think in hindsight this may not have been the kindest choice of session from me, especially in a recovery week.. I forget just how much distance you can cover in a short space of time. But that said, it’s a session which will have taken your fitness up another notch, which is pleasing, but I’m not sure we need to be smashing out 18 miles at pace too often. But I’ll hold my hands up if I get things wrong from time to time. I’m not afraid to admit that and learn from it. So I think in future it’s important I set your long run workouts to miles rather than time. So if I do make this mistake again, just remind me what I said here. So impressive though and pleased you felt strong throughout. You’re not a million miles off the sort of workout that would hint at a upcoming marathon 😉 A discussion for another year perhaps. Awesome running Steve.
