Recovery with Nico

I agreed to accompany Nico again tonight as long as we didn't do his 2 x 30' marathon pace session. He wasn't too keen either and he agreed to an hour at 4'20 pace. Perfect.

We ran the usual route around Maisons Laffitte adding on a little extra as we ran down to the town hall and back along the main road to complete the loop. We ran easily, chatting about plenty of subjects and all of the time telling each other to slow down; which neither of us did.

Hitting 3'45 for the kilometre down the hill chatting as we went was probably the highlight of the run which was most enjoyable. It's so good to feel so fit that you just want to make the most of it as you always have this feeling that it won't last.

13.7km all up in 57:43 so 4:12/km on average. So much for an easy 4'20 pace. Good stuff though.
