After 3 more days off, I decided at the last minute to do the Jog Shop Jog.
Sounds simple enough, and the first 5 miles are. But then the next 10 are very demanding, up and down numerous lovely hills on the South Downs. The final 5 miles include a nice long gentle descent before another short, sharp climb, with a couple of undulating miles along the cliff top to finish this classic 20 mile off-road race on the south coast.
I was pretty pleased with my time, proving to myself that resting before a long run does no harm at all — just one short run in the previous 8 days.
