2:48.
Conditions were good but ultimately I just didn't have the speed endurance. Stuck to the heart rate goals but unfortunately the pace slipped fairly consistently from 3:44 down to 4:00+ by 30k - not helped by a giant blister forming (new shoes... silly me) which meant I had to heel strike the last 10k!
All in all it's not a terrible starting point for the season given the 3 month break and low mileage build up. Feeling motivated to push on after some R&R this week and legs feeling decent (managed a 7k jog today).
Will revert with the summer race plan but will certainly be looking towards some 5/10k's and a half/full marathon in the Autumn.
