Got home early, put on me new shoes, and off I went. Light rain, bit dark. Did the 3.1 mile route, and managed to run non-stop for 40-45 minutes, stopping only for occasional traffic.
Quite pleased with the new shows, most comfortable.
Tried some pace change too, chucked in few fartleks, which went better than I thought; managed to continue afterwards with temporary recovery as I was going along.
Happy, continuing to rack of the distance / time slowly...

Run #6
Saturday again, time for a longer one.
Found a new route, up along the top a lot further, and back down a lot further, pushing it up to 3.5 miles. Sure it felt longer than that, but was about 45 minutes.
I need to focus more on timing. I can do my normal 2.5 miles in 20 minutes, non-stop now. It starts with a 500 metre slog up hill, then more or less across and down, and up for a wee bit, ending on a nice sprint downhill.
This new route extends the loop, but has more of a hill at the start, and back up again. I'll have to dig out some maps and perhaps drive somewhere for a longer, flatter run. I don't mind the hills so much now, but some of them are crazy steep.
The Bath 1/2 circuit route is about 5 miles - two of those, plus 1.5 miles or so from the start to the circuit, then of course, the same again from last lap of circuit to the finish. The 5 mile circuit looks good, may try and do that one quiet afternoon...
Got some new trainers too.

Quick 2.5 miles on Thursday, nothing hectic. Can do that route in 20 mins; need to find a longer one.
