a quick whinge

AM Run: 15K in 1:24:14. A bit tough.

I'm not enjoying my long run as much as I used to. This is purely because I am running it harder than I used to, in the 80-85% MHR range, rather than the 75%-80% range I'm more comfortable in. I'm running no slower than 10kph to prevent ITB recurrence, and for now it is working. As I get fitter it will get easier. Today's 15K long run was a little tough, but I still enjoyed it a bit. It was yet another variation of the old Richmond-Windsor loop. You'd think I'd find a route that doesn't involve inhaling turf farm odour.

Still didn't sleep, but all of the rotten side effects of my old anti-depressant have gone - today is the first day on the new one.
