I have been doing very little training over the last few weeks and certainly nothing long. So 25 today was expected to be a real test of being able to comfortably last the distance - pace was not really important - what was important was how well the injury has improved.
Well in the first 20 meters I knew that most of the injury had gone - I was able to stretch out freely for the first time in some weeks and the limp had gone. What a relief that the longest part of recovery is now over. Had decided that 5 minute ks was an achievable and maintainable pace for the whole 25ks. Maintained about 4.55 pace for the whole run and finished in 2.01.
Felt firm but comfortable all the way with a slght increase in pace in the last 5 ks. Will have an easy week to consolidate the recovery with a very relaxed SMH half on Sunday - 1:40 will be fine.
