Long slow run for the week was a straight out and back affair.

Long slow run for the week was a straight out and back affair.
Saturday turned out to be a nice spring day and as I was running
along, I appreciated how much I have missed a bit of decent weather and was
able to run in just shorts and a long sleeved t shirt. Such a difference to running wrapped up in
many layers and long running tights.
I tried to keep the run very evenly paced and by and large it
worked out pretty close to the plan, although I did lose about 4 mins on the
second half of the run compared to the first half, which equates to about 30
secs per mile slower on the way back again.
I am happy enough with the run and managed to “practice” my on
the run nutrition. My food of choice for
fuelling on the run and on the bike is the Flapjack. These are fairly dense and packed full of
calories and are quite easy to digest, so I am sticking with them as my fuel of
choice. It also helps that they come in
all sorts of flavours like Yoghurt topped, strawberry Jam, oaty, Choc Chip and
my favourite – Caramel.
A long run or ride is a great excuse for a flapjack or 2.
