Dijon

Arrived in Dijon Monday night and did a quick reccy to see where I would run the following day.

The hotel (Holiday Inn - I highly recommend) was situated just opposite the park of La Toison d'Or. I got up early and ran around the park with a colleage, Jean-Charles, easily measuring the distance of 1.3km for the circuit before I set off on some interval training.

I decided on a 10x1' session off 45'' recovery. It was hard to motivate myself as I was on my own for the intervals and this is never as hard as running against others to push you on. I ran the intervals at 3:35 to 3:45 pace and it felt hard enough.

A cool down afterwards and 10.2 km all up in 52:01 or an average of 5:06 per km. Pleasant run before breakfast.
