12km @ 6.50/km
Intentionally went slower today preparing for tomorrows big 32km run. This week and next week are the peak of the training cycle then everything starts to taper off.
Being a larger fellow I'm obviously slower but the runs aren't that hard for the majority. A lot of my smaller mates who are runners say they still hit the wall around the 30km mark. I'm trying to find the right balance of food before the run and when to take the gels on the run. Last week I took a gel every 7kms but the last one didn't seem to do much. Despite the advice I get from other runners, being larger would naturally mean I need more than the average person. Tomorrow I'll take one every 6km and see how it goes.
The other drama is it's magpie season, and a few attacks have happened along the route I run.
