Distance: 4.86 milesTime: 50 minutes
I took my running gear to work with me today, but decided not to go out at dinner time and go on the way home instead. I got changed before leaving work and headed for Brancepeth which is on the way home. I intended just to run along the old railway track to the Works then turn around and go back the way I came.
As I was approaching the Works I decided that I would keep going and aim for the 100 acres Nature Reserve at Oakenshaw. There were some steepish uphill sections to Oakenshaw and was pleased to get to the flat.
I ran through the Nature Reserve looking at the scenery as I went and avoiding all the people walking their dogs, its a nice place to run and the whole route made a change. There was only about a mile or so in total of it on the road, the rest was tracks and bridleways. I got back to the car and wasn't out of breath at all.
I estimated the time, but it will be quite accurate because I took it from how far through a playlist I had listened. So will only be about a minute out at most. I'm fairly happy with the pace, 10 minute mile. If I could keep that up for the entire G.N.R. I would be completing it in under 2:15. It's not very likely that I could keep that pace for over 13 miles but would like to do it in under 2:30. To be honest will be happy just to finish nevermind aiming for times.
