Met my friend Dave at 8am for the start of out 16 mile training run. The route was Green Street Green to Chapter one, past Oprington Station up to Polhill, then off road to Shoreham village up through Lullingston golf course to Well Hill and Chelsfield.
Off road was very muddy and hilly so that slowed us down.
This was our longest training run so far and we were both really pleased at the end of this run, overall pace just over 11 minutes per mile and we finished with no problems and enough energy in us to run a few more miles. We decided to push the limits and did not take any energy gels . Next weekend we are going to do 18 mile road run aiming for 10 minute per mile pace. All good

That is brilliant Clive, not to worry about the pace time you are doing all the right things at the moment.
