Sunday long run - 30km

This felt harder this week compared to last week, despite holding the same pace (3:55's). The heart rate confirmed this, averaging 154 beats per minute. A strong(ish) north-easterly wind acted as a solid barrier running north, yet the trade-off was evident on the way back with my body temperature rising rapidly. Extremely thirsty for the last 10km, and still stopping to get water as I am writing this now! Perhaps it is the lack of sleep over the past two weeks? Or the fact that I have just got out my first solid and consistent 150km week in a few weeks? My performance is exactly where I would anticipate, so no real concern on that front. Time to jump into the ocean!
