1:32:27 in the trail 21 k this weekend. Very pleased with that! :jester:
Managed to run with a decent negative split. This was of course quite natural as the first 7 k were much upwards and the rest more downwards.
I think the time would be sup 1.30 if it was a city / street half marathon.
The course was quite demaning, as I`m lately not too used to run on rocky wood paths. Luckily I`ve been running a lot on such paths in my teens, so guess I had a bit of experience in there anyway.
Very pleased with how the legs responded and that I managed to fullfill without injury problems of any kind. That is, except from an angry, red blister underneath one toe. I suppose this doesn`t count as a an injury, but rather something to be expected. Seems like it will keep me from running the next days anyway.
Bottom line: Very pleased with the run. Looking forwards to put up some new challenges on the schedule. But will focus primarily on recovery this week.
Planning to combine off period with holidays from mid july. Perhaps putting in something before that.
Next big thing this year will be street half marathon late September. Would also like to run another 10 k during the autumn.
The marathon distance I think I will stay off this year...
