Just two runs again this week.
Run 1 was the regular Thursday-night group run with the Plymouth Musketeers. This week’s route was the Ernesettle route which I completed in the 9 minute/mile pace group. This is a route that I don’t like – it’s quite steeply downhill for the first mile or so, but then there is a long steep haul back up from Ernesettle along Biggin Hill. I started the run expecting to find it a bit of a struggle, so I was pleasantly surprised to find I felt quite strong all the way round.
Run 2 was a Sunday run from home, completing two big loops out and around Central Park, about 6.75 miles in total. It’s a good training route because there are some decent hills interspersed with more level and downhill sections.
