The snow and below freezing temperatures weren't enough to put the lads off the Sunday run. Dave, Anthony, Paul and me deciding on a run towards Wheathampstead at 7am.
Woo, it was -3c. Luckily no wind but still enough to put hairs on the chest.
We headed over to Wheathampstead along the Lea Valley and across the fields. It was still dark but brightening as we went. The pace was slow but it was impossible to go any faster without slipping.
We made it to the start of the Wheato 10k and did a loop around part of the course before stopping for a photo and then heading back.
As we made our way across we noticed the ice on Dave's hair. Any moisture was freezing instantly, as it does below zero.
We made it back and after leaving Paul and Ant, Dave and I stepped up the pace and put in an 8min last mile. It was a good effort and the first time in ages that I've finished a run with Dave - normally he's got fed up going so slow. Ironman.
Overall, 11.3 miles, average pace 9.18 and a low Z3 heart rate.
you're going to do 1000 miles with no problem at all!
