Back running solo this morning, with Matty joining me only for Tuesday's for the next 6 weeks before upping the intensity to both speed sessions. Feeling slightly flat warming up (but that is always the case). Warmer again this morning, with a moderately strong north-westerly wind. Nevertheless, once again psyched myself into the session (and subsequent pain) and came out the other side with a great time of 15:23; only 2 seconds off my best (which was run 10 days prior to the Gold Coast half). Had thoughts about potentially halving the session, with plans of racing the Sydney Striders North Head 10km this Saturday, but decided to simply train through it. No point tapering for a club race (plus, Tom Highnam and a few others would never let it down)! Long cool down as per usual for a solid 17km round trip this morning.
8km easy tonight in the darkness! Averaged 4:41 min/km pace at 116 beats per minute.
