Today's session was the long run for the week. It was good to make some progress after running the same distances now for over three weeks. Hal's 7 miles is actually 11.3km, which is what I ran out today. My legs felt a little heavy today, I might need to modify or give up the Thursday strength training. Luckily the rain that threatened stayed away, if this is the worst of the winter then I should be OK. Next week I step back Saturday's run to 8km and increase the midweek run to 6km. Slow and steady wins the race.

Hi there... Dont give up strength training.. as the km get further you will need the muscular strength. Either change you LSR days or training day...

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep the strength training but maybe take it a bit easier on Thursday and adjust the pace of the long run too.
