Great Long Run

I just finished a 12.741km running that lasted about 0hh:57mm:6ss !

The cold and rain has returned to the city but that has not been an impediment to go for a long run today.
I started the training a bit strange, it was difficult for me to catch a good breathing rhythm at the beginning, probably because I started uphill, however, after the first kilometer everything has gone better.
I have selected an easy but fast cruising speed, around 4'15"/km, pace that I constantly repeated kilometer after kilometer except for the last but one where I accelerated a little more, below 4'/km.

Clearly, the cold environment helps in sports performance, at least in those sports where the aerobic aspect is very important.
The heart stops dedicating flow to cooling the body and dedicates instead to the muscles that perform the function of running with a higher priority, as a consequence, performance increases substantially.

I finished the week with a final mileage of almost 50 km, it is not bad at all and I am also injury free which is even better.

Keep on running!
