First long(ish) run of my pre-training program training program. 7 miles in 1h15mins. Slightly on the fast side for my long-run pace (long run pace should be 40-60s per mile slower than race pace, and my intended race pace is between 10min and 10’15” per mile) but it was after all only a very short long run.<\/p>\n
Amongst other things, I tested my new hydration rucksack and I’m quite pleasantly surprised by how little it bothers me. One of the straps rubs a bit against my neck but as long as I wear a shirt with collar, that shouldn’t be a problem. I was a bit disappointed to discover that some of the seams appear to have damaged the technical fabric of my running shirt. I’ll have to find a solution for that. Maybe I can tape them off or something.<\/p>\n
Next step for today – get myself a new pair of running shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
