The legs were still carrying some of the after-effects of Sunday's race, so there was no temptation to push the pace. The plan was simply an easy 8km along the promenade and to let the body do a bit of work without adding too much extra fatigue. My hamstring was feeling a little tight at the start, but thankfully it loosened up as the run progressed and never became a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-767x432.jpg 767w, https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dankew.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260929_181917-320x180.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most part I stayed comfortably in Zone 2, although the wind was against me for the last 4k, so I had to put in a bit more effort to maintain the pace I was aiming for. Nothing dramatic, though - just a little drift into Zone 3. Overall, everything went well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 10K PB is still very much in the legs, so tonight wasn't about proving anything. Just getting out, running comfortably and letting the recovery continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"responsive-strava-container\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100% !important;\">\n    <style>\n        \/* This targets the iframe that the Strava script generates inside the placeholder *\/\n        .responsive-strava-container iframe,\n        .responsive-strava-container .strava-embed-placeholder {\n            width: 100% !important;\n            max-width: 100% !important;\n            min-width: 100% !important;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n    \n<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"20382409367\" data-style=\"standard\" data-from-embed=\"false\" data-token=\"aCTtiLf4LDXmONsd7eMJgI6EyycuB8PmJNfAHxlq7_0\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beachy Head Half Marathon 2026 Training Block - Week 8\/11 8km Easy Run - Worthing Seafront After the maximum-effort 10K at the weekend, tonight was very much about keeping things comfortable.
