Recovery week

Had a pretty good recovery week with little running and a bit of bike.

Mon-Rest
Tues-Rest
Weds-7.5km-41:32 College Easy
Thurs-7.5km-40:13 College Easy
Fri- Bike LCNP 3 laps of Striders 10km course, felt great!
Sat-Rest
Sun-SMC Half Marathon:
Felt surprisingly good going out on 100 min pace with Johnny Dark and then slowly increased the pace to hit the 10km marker in 46:01. I reckoned the second half would be tougher as it was warming up but managed to hold a good pace and pass a few runners over the next 10km, splitting in 45:49.
The final 1.1km saw me pass another runner (split 4:36) to finish with a pleasing 96:26.

Downside is my peroneal tendon has flared up again, not as badly as before but will need careful management.

96:26 would have been very pleasing indeed considering what you were up to the previous weekend. Well done!
