Thanks for that, I'll take that pacing strategy and see how it goes.
While snow is unusual here I live at about 1000m elevation so we usually get snow once or twice a year. It's more the combination of strong wind and freezing temperatures that make things hard for me!
Just wanted to mention that during the 30min easy run this morning I felt some discomfort in the achilles. It was not pain, just a slight discomfort. I was already halfway through the run so no point turning back, I stopped for a bit to check on it then kept jogging along slowly. It didn't get worse, and after about 1km disappeared completely. It is now several hours since I ran and there is still no further symptoms and no obvious signs of inflammation. Maybe it was a phantom pain? I sure hope so...
For the record ran 7.06km in 34:25mins average pace 4:53 average HR 131
