  • Yeah, that'll need longer recovery.

    I'm pretty fucked from Leeds today, 3h14m off z sensibly judged effort based run in thf heat, finished strong which was the main goal to get that feeling.

  • Oof 3:14 is impressive .. especially in that heat.

    How was the descent of Creskeld?

    I sneaked a tiny HM PB at 1:35:16 which I’m happy with 2-weeks after a marathon. I was defo in bonk territory in the last KM.. nobody has ever drunk a Erdinger 0% faster.

  • Thanks!

    How was the descent of Creskeld?

    Not sure what mile that was at, but all the decents were very runnable, although the lat 5 miles weaving through the 2h15+ HM finishers was a bit hectic! Not the runners fault, the organiser should stagger the starts to try and merge the two races at equal paces really I think, although that'd be impossible for all paces I guess?

    The 3h15 pacers ran an interesting strategy, they caught me uphill and I left them behind downhill, until 16-20 where I was with them at 16, in a group of about 15-20 runners. They set an astonishing pace up the hill taking all with them, I stuck to small rise in HR. I passed many of the group over the next 10km as they blew apart, it was a trail of destruction. I'm told the pacers finished in 3h12 which is a strong run for those who stayed with them.

    Awesome result, the heat was rising after 11am and that is a solid run so close to your marathon.

    Mine was drunk very slowly but it was much appreciated.
