An Easy run for me should be at 6:00/km pace and a Long run should be 10 to 20km. At least that's according to my Runners World - Training Pace Calculator.
So 9.76km last night was a bit short to be Long and the pace of 6:10/km was a bit slow to be Easy.
But who cares? At the moment, I'm just happy to be able to get out for the exercise.
I'd actually talked to my Imaginary Friend and agreed to just run for 1 hour at a comfortable pace (we chose 6:10/km). So we did achieve our target, and crossed the line together for a change. I did get away from him for a while and he caught up and passed me too. Then he really played dirty and didn't wait for me when I had to stop to tie my shoelace. But I managed to catch him up again.
I think I've realised the source of my heel soreness. My shoes seem to press in that area. I made a point of stretching my heels out before I set off, and in doing so I felt that soreness as the shoe pressed against my heel. So perhaps a new pair of shoes from Santa...?
