First long run in the UK this year and it went OK. My "planned" pace was 4:53 for 16km which I thought was optimistic and I managed to maintain about 5:03 after the first couple of km. It was bloody cold (about 5-8 below 0 degrees Celsius, yet sunny). Hyde park was covered in frost and the sunny was incredibly low which made for a lovely scenic run. Unfortunately my watch ran out of memory (i have not uploaded my runs in a long time) so I didn't get a complete time for the approx 18 i believe I ran. It looks like i did about 16km in about 1h25m.
Calves felt good, had a good stretch and rollout after and a hot bath. Also had an early night with no booze the night before and plenty of water Friday and Saturday morning.
One great thing was my 2 large bowls of coco pops cereal i had after the run, not very paleo but i think i will continue that trend... one meal wont kill me, in fact I think the sugars should do some good.
