Saint Malo Day 11 : Long Run Saint Malo to Dinard and return 24km

Run today at lunch from Saint Malo to Dinard and Return. Run was almost entirely on coast, both single track and urban running. The journey traversed a hydro power station masquerading as a bridge. Almost daily I've looked across from Saint Malo to Dinard and wanted to be there. Moving hotels yesterday put it within a comfortable range to run. The run would rank in my top few runs ever. I took over 140 photos.

In Dinard I stopped for a very nutritious lunch of four Magnum vanilla and raspberry ice cream on stick and a no sugar coke. Perfect as a mid-run snack on a sunny, warm day.

Tomorrow I leave Saint Malo by TGV for Paris. On Friday evening I'll jog a couple of laps on Parc Montsouris in preparation for Parkrun Montsouris on Saturday. A couple of hours after Parkrun I'll be catching a slow train to Epernay for 3 nights and Tour de France stages at Epernay and Reims.

24km today, 144km this week.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
