Had a hard run today (thurs) it was sunny and hot and i ran mainly along the Coast Rd and seafront which had no shade whatsoever so it was a struggle,i had to stop a couple of times in the shade of a tree or bush to cool down a bit and get a breather.
The run started at Victoria Park on Rotten Row and i ran around the outside off it and up the entire length of the Coast Rd to the Plough roundabout,i had a break for 5 minutes while there sat on a wall in the shade as i really was overheating and worried i may pass out if not careful.
I then started the long slog down to the Botanic Gardens,through Churchtown Village and to the top of Roe Lane were i popped into Spar for a Powerade for the run back.
I then ran as per usual down Roe Lane,Manchester Rd and into town,upto the Marine Lake and down The Promenade and past Splashworld and back to where i started at Victoria Park where i had a well earned sit down in the shade to rest and cool down.
Overall it was my longest ever run,only by 0.1 of a Km but it was longer :) and on a hot day.
Total run was 10.5 Miles,next week hopefully i'll manage an 11 miler or at least over the next couple of weeks anyway.

GNR 2012 week 13 training blog 15/5/12.
Well no weeks 10-12 as i have had a few lazy weeks and haven't done any real training,but i'm back on it now and have done two days back to back training this week in an attempt to get back on track.
I did a 5k run to my parents on monday and said my hello's and had a brew but i had struggled to do the run as i was boiling on the run and my head felt like it was going to explode lol.
After a little rest i then ran another 5k home,which was easier than the first as it was a little cooler.
On Tuesday i felt like i needed to make up for my poor perforance on Monday and needed to catch up with the weeks of missed training.So i did a scenic non stop 10k run around Victoria park,the promenade,marine lake,marine drive and finally Victoria park again.
It was windy but sunny and not too hot so overall it was an enjoyable run.
I managed to pace myself at an easy pace and maintain comfortable breathing and i managed a total time of 49 minutes which was the same as my previous fastest 10k so i was very happy with that after missing several weeks :)
So hopefully i may get another run in this week but will probably be between 5k and 10k as i'm planning on entering the Southport Funfest 5k on the 10th June so i'm going to try some 5k training to improve my speed.
Bye for now folks.
