Early morning run with Laurence

A last minute decision persuaded Laurence not to run by herself this morning but to head out with me for a 10km route around Maisons Laffitte together. Since the clocks went forward last weekend, we were obliged to set out in the dark again and the sun began to rise only when we were nearing the end of the run.

An easy run down to the Seine in the dark and then along to the racecourse where we did a series of 6 x 1 minute intervals at max speed for Laurence. I was most impressed with her speed as she ran the intervals at around 4:10 pace up until the park. A jog back home to end the run.

10.3 km all up in 55:15 or 5:20 / km on average. Most pleasant start to the day.
