Felt great to start, had a few sections at a faster pace (particularly one stint running along a main road) which I paid for later on - last couple of miles were exceedingly hard work - no energy!

Muscles feeling completely wrecked from Sunday's coaching course, so decided to have a bit of a walk to warm up and cut the distance down by a mile or so from my usual morning route.
0.32mi Walk - 13:17/mi - 94bpm
4.04mi Run - 7:52/mi - 131bpm
Feel better for having been out. hopefully all will be fully recovered ready for Sunday's race

Had dressed for severe wind/rain, as the weather had been terrible all day, but within 0.5mi all was calm and I was overdressed! Enjoyable run but darkness and some tightness (which feels like it was left over from last weekends race) meant I cut the planned 16mi route a little short.
7:01/mi, 141bpm.
