Raw
After the lull comes raw. Why? Because running over 5km along the embankment toward New Brighton on a cold day into a strong headwind feels quite raw. Unusually the wind direction was the opposite to the norm and was blowing from Liverpool to Wales, making it bloody hard on the outward leg. 3 tops, running bottoms, beanie and gloves kept a lot of the cold out - I feel the cold !
So, just ran it on the outward leg, bit pointless really trying to fight it. So, eventually got to the sandstone wall in a second or two under 27 mins (11.3 kph approx). Turned and immediately felt the benefit of the wind. Came back about 5 mins faster (though it’s a bit shorter) in 13.36 kph average. But you can never seem to make up the time lost.
