Recovery run

A run around Maisons Laffitte this morning along the usual route to try and eliminate the toxins after yesterday's race. The breathing was easy enough but the legs were definitely tired.

I was running at just under 4:30 / km pace after the first kilometre down to the Seine and I managed to maintain this pace to the end. In fact, I felt as though I needed to run a little farther than usual to get the legs back to normal so I carried on down to the town hall and back along the main road to complete the circuit.

Lovely morning and wam for an autumn day. Legs are still suffering though with the thighs particularly tired. So much for a recovery run. I just seemed to have prolonged the agony.

14.3 km all up in 1:02.
