Tonight’s run was pretty much a repeat of Tuesday’s, with the temperature being slightly warmer (23 vs. 21ºC), the distance slightly shorter (7K vs. 8K) and the direction slightly opposite (counter-clockwise vs. clockwise).
Because of the previously mentioned slightly tender shins I originally planned to ease up a bit for this run but when I spied another runner ahead of me as I came off the Piper Mill trail I decided to keep pace with him (if I could) and did just that for roughly the last two km or so. I think I actually closed the gap a little, woo.
As with Tuesday’s run I got a nice bell curve going, with the slowest part of the run in the middle and then picking up speed again in the second half. In fact I came the closest yet to dipping below 5:00/km in the last km, coming in at 5:03. Hopefully my shins will forgive me.
