Running long 2:53:15 [3] 34.4 km (5:02 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Asics 17 - Oct 2011
Last long run before NY! Decided to do a HTFU run and went around Hippodrome Longchamp 7 times. Good mental training if a little boring. First hour and a half was in the dark, not many people out there. Then a few other runners started to filter down to the Hippodrome, with one guy coming past at 24km at a pace just a bit faster than me so I hung onto him for 4km, which was good training. Left calf started to tighten up over last few km and is now a bit tight and sore. No real damage I think, just feels like the large bulk of the muscle has been kind of swollen. Ice pack and stretching should see it right over the next few days.
All in all, a good run and confidence-building. If all goes to plan, I am sure that I will be able to get to 32-34km at around 4.50/km. Then I hope the occasion and the crowds pull me through the last 8-10km.
