This sunday was (as usual) a long run day. The target was to complete 13-14 kms at an average speed of 6min/KM. I decided to start it early morning (6 am), at a slower pace and then increase it slowly which would lead to negative splits. So, i started with a 6 min 30 sec/KM pace. The weather was a bit supportive and i finished 10Kms in exactly 1Hr, at the end of which i fealt that i can carry myself easily for another 3-4 Kms. I did that and went on to run a total of 15 and half kilometers, and took exactly 93 mins. Since i had negative splits, the last 3 Kms were done at 5min/Km speed. Not Bad!
So, what i can conclude is that, i should begin all my runs early in the morning. Also, i will consider the fact that the actual race might be in worst hot conditions, and i will do late morning runs in the last month of training (May).
