I just went on a 16 km run around Massey and West Harbour, the same course that I did last Saturday. This time it took 91 mins, with some walking in between. That is an improvement of 5 minutes. Around the 10km mark, I was doing around 6 mins/km, then the last 6 kms I increased the pace to 5 mins/km, which is quite encouraging. I think the muscles were used to the strain of running that it was able to take on more strain without dramatic fatigue.
And I haven't got sick yet, which is great since I was battling the elements on my last long run. Next Saturday, I'll increase the distance to 20km, slightly shorter than half marathon distance, and see if I can do that in under 2 hours. Now that would be fantastic.
