This is my weekend "long" run. I initially wanted to do a 33k, in preparation for my 47th anniversary 47km race (it's a thing I do for about 4 years now: every year, for my birthday, I run my age in km). But then I saw I got a really good pace versus heart rate balance and decided to stop at km 21, making it just a half-marathon.
The key metrics here are: average heart rate: 141 bpm (which is under my lactate threshold, meaning I ran from fat) and 7 minutes per km, which is a very decent speed for running under the lactate threshold.
All in all, I got lucky this weekend: weather was gorgeous, temperature just how it had to be and I also was fortunate enough to make my cooldown lap with @raluca, who showed me some of the most beautiful colors of the park in this autumn. Rumor has it she is going to post those on here timeline too.
So, how / where / how much did you run this weekend?

I went to the sports massage to try and get my calf back in working order. 30 minutes of agony later and it does feel somewhat better, some stretching and a few weeks light exercise and I'll hopefully be back out running.
7mins/km is a pace I should try I think. I never ran longer distances so I have no concept of what pace is good for the entire distance. I think Im trying to run out too quickly.

It really depends on your training. A 7min/km pace for a half-marathon should be totally doable if you're not injured. Goof stuff with the massage :)
