Hamstring Treatment Day 52: 12 miles on the trails in London...

There must have been 40+ runners who showed up for the Sunday morning run. We were to do anywhere from 12 to 16 miles. Jed and Brian each did about 16, but I thought it best to take it easy, considering the longest run I'd done since my hamstring injury was just 6 miles on the treadmill. Here are my kilometre splits:
6:09
5:43
5:44
5:42
5:29
5:28
5:28
5:31
5:44
5:24
5:32
5:39
5:43
6:05
5:58
6:04
5:57
6:07
6:14
6:07 pace (321 m.)

The average pace for 19.32 km (12 miles) was 5:47 per kilometre, or 9:18 per mile. Not great, but it was all I could do. I found that even the slightest incline caused me issues -- it was like my right leg (with the hamstring injury) had zero strength in going up hills.
