17 miles outside
Longest ever run outside. 17 miles in the pouring rain. Felt good but struggled to go slow. Averaged 9:58 but did some in 9:30, when aiming for 10. Legs sore but 51 miles since Monday, so to be expected.

Update
Did a great 7 mile fartlek session on Thursday, which I really enjoyed but then had unplanned 3 days of rest due to Liam's birthday festivities etc!!! 20 miles done Monday though at slow pace 10:30 min/mile-which went well. Struggling to decide on pace for day, may depend on weather on day.
