Trail Run 2

We did another similar trail and road route today. Total distance covered was 21.45km and avg pace was 6:00. Both of us felt good after the run and was not that tired previously. Lam is showing signs of improvement and he did well today. He was never more than 75 meters away from me throughout the run. Secret formula? The answer is SUFFICIENT SLEEP! A simple answer and yet often we overlook it as athletes. I was also glad that i had adequate rest the night before (Maygane slept through from 2am - 8am, Hooray)

Overall, the pace we set was comfortable and we discussed that we could stick to this pace of 6:00 for our desert race. + and - depends on the gradient and type of the route too. We are expecting to go below this pace for road.

Next available off day, we should be hitting the road and aim for 25km - 30km.
