Midweek Run - 16km

dannewton just finished a 16.05km run, that lasted for 96 minutes.
This run helped dannewton burn 1668.0 calories.

Description from Strava: Can't believe how quick the nights are closing now! I finished work at 4:30, and as I knew I was aiming for a longer run today, I made a conscious effort to get outside as soon as possible to make the most of the daylight.

I headed out at 4:50, and arrived home by 6:20, and it was practically nightfall. Writing this now at 6:35, darkness has fallen. I need to make sure I dig out my headtorch for future runs.

The run itself went well. I headed down to Coleby and back, and then a quick 3km lap around the village resulted in an overall distance of 16km.

not bad for a midweek plod!

As for Pace... I was quicker than I had planned (which in fact lead to a pb for 15km) but I always maintain that the speed I run depends on how I feel.

Evidently I felt pretty good today! And not only did I keep a fairly consistent pace throughout, but the fact that the last 4km were the quickest of the whole session meant that I finished nice and strong too!

Right, time for some tea, and I'd best go dig out that headtorch before I forget.... (again!)

About the Athlete: Living in the UK, I am an intermittent Runner, but always striving for more consistency. When I'm not training I can be found photographing insects or listening to really loud angry music (which is the best type of music obviously!)
