Saturday's run was very hot, out along the Dales Way path from Ilkley to Bolton Bridge. I returned along the Nesfield Road until I got to the Addingham footbridge, crossing over it to then return to Ilkley on the Dalesway. Temperature was in the mid 20s & there were lots of people out enjoying the sunshine (although it was disturbing to hear that an 8 year old boy died in the River Wharfe at Bolton Bridge shortly after I'd gone past there).
Today's run was also out to Bolton Bridge & back, but this time sticking to the Nesfield Road. The temperature was at least 10 degrees less than the day before & it rained continuously.
Today's run was a bit faster pace than yesterday, which is not unexpected considering that it was all on the roads, but I was probably putting a bit more effort in as well. Both runs were around 17k & relatively flat. It made a pleasant change to not have any hills like I've had in recent races.
I've got a week without a race now before the Long Eaton 5 miles next Sunday. The plan is to do generally easy paced running with just the track session on Wednesday to hopefully put a bit of speed in the legs.
