Sun, 4 June Long Run 12km's+-
Didn't have breaky as i didn't want to wait 3 more hours before i ran. Finally got to Langwarrin Flora and Fauna park around 10:30am. Did a 5min w/u jog. Then set off on a track unknown. After looking in the Melways, i decided to follow the boundary as there were too many tracks throughout the middle. Eventually had to do a bit of zig-zagging as i was running out of area to run. There were actually a few hills (or rises) in there which made it a little unexpected as i actually changed todays run due to caution with my slightly sore shins.
Enjoyed the run esp as i had no idea where i was going. An adventure i guess.
Ran for 71mins then did a 5 min c/d jog. Went to car to grab my stretching towel and banana. During my stretches i noticed another runner about to head home after his run. I was very excited to see another runner as there aren't really many of us down this way. I started chatting to him and we exchanged numbers so we can run together with his group. (ie his wife and 2 others) Then stupidly asked what pace he did.... "oh around 4.30-5.00min k's". WHAT THE!!! then politely let him know of my snail pace. We will 'possibly' meet up for a run where i have the option of peeling off if i am too slow. He has done 3 or 4 Marathons too.
Anyway, was a nice finish to my run.
Max hr 165- 86%, Av 157- 82%
Effort felt like a comfy run. Able to possibly chat everynow and again. Steady puffing up the hills. Just to give you an idea.

Great stuff Crissy on the long run, excluding for extra distance there is no real need for a cool down after a long run as the run is generally easy anyway, this is why I do not encourage hard finishes to long runs, but the extra 5 minutes would not have hurt.
I would suggest a small breaky before your long run, it doesn't need to be 3 hours, I use that for racing only. A small breaky will give you some fuel.
I hope there was lots of calf stretching afterwards.
I'll check out the rest of your blog now.
