Morning Ed,
Before I feedback on this morning long run, just a quick question.
On your 10km programmes the order of the runs in the 18 day plan is specific as each one has their objective etc.
Is the order of the runs in the current plan wrt the 1 - long run, 2 - interval/hill loop, 3- Tempo also important. The reason I ask is that my long run is current not my 1st run of the week, but the 3rd run. Tempo is 1st (mon), interval/hill ( wed) is 2nd, and long run 3rd (sat)
Now on to this mornings long run.
I Felt very good, and ran a bit longer. When I stopped I easily good have gone for another 10-15min. Did the stop and have a light stretch and a drink routine again, and this time did not include the 5k trail portion. Drifted into Z4 on occasion.
Hr - 139bpm, pace - 5.49/km, time - 1:39:05, dist - 17k
Z1-4:24, Z2-16:40, Z3-1:00:09, Z4-16:45
thx
Phil
