6 hour run done looping Springbank Park in London. I have done this race a number of times over the last decade, 6 hour , 12 hour, 24 hour and Marathon. I was more or less run ready however I haven't done any long runs since the Falling Water Marathon in mid August. The weather was pretty decent started around 14C at 8am , a nice breeze came up as the temperature climbed to 23C by 2pm. Started to feel a bit on the warm side the last couple of hours. Stretch goal was 50k , did that 3 or 4 years ago. Didnt quite make it getting to 47k. When I passed 42K mark it was around 5hrs15min , decided to walk a lap to cool down. I was around 5hrs40min when I crossed the start finish figured I had it in me to do the 2.2K loop one more time and that is what I did getting to 47K mark a few minutes under the 6hr mark. The whole race seemed hard. I don't do much constant running so it always strikes me a being harder. Average moving pace was 7:20 , fast laps were around 6:30 , 6:40 pace. I wasnt in any hurry just wanted to get close to 50K in 6 hours.
