Steady paced 8k

I had a great second 8k run today, I think I've finally found a nice steady cruising pace of about 6.45 a kilometer that will take me pretty much anywhere my legs will cooperate with ๐Ÿ˜. This was about 7.00 a few weeks ago, so progress I guess!

I've also been working my way through my old record collection during my runs - turns out Radiohead's 'The Bends' is a cracking album to run to if you like that sort of thing (made me chuckle to myself when iron lung came on ๐Ÿ˜‚).

Thanks! I've been trying to slow down as much as I can for these longer ones, but I'm rubbish at pacing - i was aiming for about 7.30 when i set out ๐Ÿ™„.

I'd recommend the bends! I might give some of the others a go next time.

Great stuff! Do you know Radiohead? Don't want you stuck with an album you don't like!
