I went for my 14 mile LSR today which I found hard work in the cold winds. There was some sunshine which was very nice if the wind was on my back but it was bitter when I had the headwind against me, which seemed to be a lot of the time!
Its probably because I did the 19 on Monday that I felt so aching in the hips and I ended up walking for 2 minutes at the beginning of every mile for the last 5 miles as my legs were very tired but I still averaged 12.00 min miles which is the same pace as last time, even with the walk-breaks, so overall I'm very pleased with this week's training.
I've hit 40 miles this week (unintentionally) and even though its more than I should have done, I've never managed to get to that amount without getting injured before. I think this is all down to Shades' schedule and the extra rest days. I will be taking it a bit easier next week.

Average pace 12.00
