Midweek kanter

Postponing my midweek rerun of Saturday's outing proved to be a good move. After Tuesday's monsoon Wednesday's calm, dry and cool weather was perfect for running, although it did bring out the hordes to Rivington, forcing a start to be made from the main drive and not the Lower Barn car park, making the route slightly longer.


The conditions would play some part in the improved pace though more can be attributed to the previous two circuits of the Bolton 40 course.

Pace today was 9 mins 33 secs per mile for 18.5 miles compared to last week's midweek run at 9.54 for 14 miles.

Just for the record, Belmont to Horden Stoop took 13 mins - that was 53 seconds faster than Saturday without my pacer!
