My first run after 'The Bridge' was on Tuesday evening. Normally this would be my speed session, but my legs weren't up to it, and perhaps my head was not quite there either. On reflection, I should have gone for a short easy recovery run on Monday, just to flush the rubbish out of my muscles.
I ran a local road route, of about 4½ miles. There's a hill around 1½ to 2 miles which slowed my pace from about 7:50 minute miling to about 8:30, even over 9:00 briefly, and my legs were so heavy I couldn't pick the pace up again until the last half mile or so, and then only managed about 7:40. Overall I averaged 8:03, but I felt better for having done it.
