[MarkCo]

wow Markco, that is quite a decent 2000 session .. how was the 1k session as the 2k session must have given you some confidence

are you able to train through winter

Morning TheEd!

Thanks. Haven't done the 1k session yet, that will be on Tuesday. I did the long run yesterday which went well as below. I didn't check HR throughout and was a bit surprised it wasn't lower as felt easy. Little bit tired this morning though so will do recovery run today and probably rest day tomorrow before the 1k.

12 Nov - long run

21.22km in 1:43:33

4:53/km

AV HR 151

Slightly increased pace for last 4km finishing at 4:30 pace.

I definitely plan to train through winter. The only thing that has historically been difficult is if it does snow and gets compacted and slippery, I tend to take those days off as I find it very easy to do myself an injury by twisting to correct slipping! So fingers crossed for a mild winter, wouldn't mind a little snow on Xmas day though!

Cheers
