Long runs can't be rushed they need to be paced without pressure of time, you have to prioritise the time spent running to allow yourself to fall into a natural rhythm. Which is just what i was able to do today on my longest training run since my St Louis Marathon of last year. Chicago gave me a beautifully perfect calm autumn day, and i had my entire morning open to pace myself. With only the thought of each 8 minutes passing, and the weather on my side, the miles tick by almost effortlessly, controlling patience is an important skill. [18.0m-2:28:38-08:15/m]
