Last year this week end I did a 36k at 4:47/k, today I started a 26k trying to finish at 5:00/k. Since the beginning I was able to stay well under 5:00, I finished the first 13k in 1:03:28 and did the second 13.2k in 1:01:48. Good things were the negative split, at the end I was tired but still able to maintain the pace, and overall I felt good throughout the whole run in spit being by myself. I was really dehydrated at the end because it was hot (I lost exactly 3kilos, that's too much), I have to remember to bring liquids for this kind of runs and I have to learn to appreciate what I can do right now instead keep going back at what I was able to do on the same course last year.
