12 km run
85 minutes
average speed about 8.5 km/hour

Interesting, GS and running, both being endurance activities, have similarities in terms of perception of difficulty. When I started running today it felt like all I am going to manage is a kilometer or two. But as I ran it got easier, and I fell into a rhythm and was able to make a new personal best in terms of distance. Similar feelings often accompany long GS sets, both with LC and snatches: it is agony at the beginning which eases off as the set progresses (becoming agony closer to the end). I am sure there is some interesting physiology behind all this.
