    great Time dilated spin class 00:45

    I've noticed this time dilation effect before. As my long runs increase in time, other exercise I do appears 'shorter'. This spin class whizzed by (excuse the pun).

    great SLOW long distance run 16 km 01:53 11:20 pace

    Really slow, and solely determined by heart rate limit of 140, which should be the edge of my aerobic zone. Apart from the 500m where I got buzzed by seagulls. Had to run a little faster then :)

      Ooo ouch! Give yourself some time Sarb and don't be too hard on yourself. Perhaps a few more easy miles in the bank first might be a kinder approach to your body :)

      Take it easy and then ease back into it. Hill repeats are deceptively hard but you can reap rewards in the long term:) Hope you feel better after the rest day.

      Thanks, Nic. I'm sure they will. I tend to see a lag of about 3 weeks, but I haven't extended long runs at the same time as a training cycle of speed work. So, will be curious to see how my body responds. Sure, will do when it come to that long run :)

    I was going to circuit train today, but I think I'd be better off using a recovery day. Haven't run like yesterday's workout for a while, and although my legs don't feel too bad they don't feel fresh.

      Km ticker on my gps shows I was running at around 4.18m/km pace, and final 800m at sub 4m/km pace. Interesting to see how this progresses. My legs felt like lead at points.
