Easy recovery

Just a gentle run around the town this morning to shake out the tiredness from the legs after yesterday's run.

Very dark at 6:00am now - Summer is over. Cold too, with the thermometer showing about 8°C when I left.

Legs were tired and pace was very slow. First couple of kilometres managed in 5 minutes each and then I sped up (!) to 4:45 pace. Managed to finish the route slightly faster as I woke up with daybreak and started to feel better after 8k. Ran last 2k at just above marathon pace.

10.3k all up in 48:50 or an average pace of 4:45. Very easy recovery.

However, I don't know if I can really call it a recovery - had problems walking up the stairs at work this morning.
