Short Before The Long

Today:
Distance: 8.15 km
Time: 42' 39"
Rate: 5' 14" per km
Weather: cloudy, temp 15 degrees, humidity 80%, wind calm
Week: 57.9 km, April: 323.75 km, Year: 1436.15 km

Short run home for lunch, drove car back to work via 10 minutes standing in the river.
The problem I had after SFT with the pinched sciatic nerve surfaced again this afternoon will sitting. The cause of this is the cold water from standing in the river. That is meant to aid recovery from muscles used in running. But it has the opposite effect with the sciatic nerve. The colder hamstring muscle contracts and tightens around the sciatic nerve causing the discomfort. Learn something new everyday.
Long, long run tomorrow, weather permitting the run to be as far as I need. I am now counting long runs in hours instead of kms.
