My legs felt thrashed all day Friday after my 6 mile tempo run and I was a little reticent heading out on Saturday morning for my long run. I took an easy 8 minute plus pace to begin with and felt more comfortable as the run went on.
However none of the 07:30 pacing of last weeks long run as I wasn't feeling as fresh. I also took a less hilly route, running into town, along the quays and back out via Sunday's Well. I did a loop of the regional park in order to get 20 miles in. A snooze on the couch in the afternoon while the kids played on the Wii next to me was sufficient to recharge the batteries.
Today was a running rest day as I opted for the 2 wheels over a hilly loop to Crossbarry.

That's a nice low hr for your long run. Your fitness is looking good!
Nice solid week of training, I,ve found that I don't need to do my long run fast every week , I've been doing one week at a faster pace followed by a easer long run the next week and it seems to work really well.
Happy running next week!
well done last night ... you snuck that race in quietly!!
