70 minutes in zone 2 at 11.30min/km ... what fun. A few blips as I let my mind drift and my pace picked up. It’s both physically and mentally tiring. You can’t let your concentration waver for a minute or up goes the heart rate. It was pretty warm out there today too. However, it’s a beautiful day, and I’m having fun still exploring new routes round Abingdon, so I can’t complain. Lots of footpaths, cycle tracks and wide, tree lined roads and avenues.

It's amazing that if you lose concentration then your heart rate goes up, nevertheless you enjoyed your run today, nice to explore new routes,

Exploring new routes is my favourite. I found one last week. Took me down a little track into a larger area of scrubby trees and long grass where folks were busy picking blackberries

Fab. I’m looking forward to off road running once this HM is done
I like to stay off the roads where poss cos of traffic fumes. Hate noisy traffic and crossing it ☹️ My trail is hard though so I have to avoid the worst bits on the longer runs to prevent getting crocked before race day

I think my very slow hr zone running would be murder in rough paths.
Not what you're looking for?
