6k Recovery/Easy Run - Fair/Cloudy - 32m 11s
Posted on Jul 08, 2008 under 5-10k, Easy Runs, Recovery Runs |First run after my 10k race on Sunday, following rest day yesterday. Legs felt tight warming up. Had also bitten the bullet and ordered the Asics online, as I have a pair of neutral trail shoes which have served me fine for mixed/trail training, but don’t seem right for pure road running and races. The new shoes feel comfortable, and very well cushioned and didn’t feel any difference really (but they look quite cool!)
Started off on a random route, through local park then around the streets, ending up on my haughton route in reverse and running all the way back home. As it was a recovery run tried to keep pace slowish, but at one point did throw in some long strides and went up to 3.5 minutes per k for about a minute, before slowing down again, and slowly jogged down to a stop towards the end.
Felt relatively good - and was an easy run compared to Sunday’s race, I look forward to some 5k tempo runs, and some long runs now in preparation for next race, which is not all that far away really!
