Whn I ran Boston in 2000, 10.5 miles was my baseline long run. And I'd run it every other weekend. But I'd run it from Newton-Wellesley hospital to Boston, along the race course, tackling the infamous Newton hills, every time, and most days it was near or below freezing.
Here in Florida, we hit a cold spell...but clear, 55, a light breeze and flat...it hardly hardship, nor an accurate comparison to training in Boston in winter. And the run was beautiful. The intercoastal between Delray Beach and Boca Raton has miles and miles of mostly asphalt sidewalks with few road crossings, water views, and manicured real estate. A very other runners are present and several walkers to weave a bit. All and all a great run.
Afterwards tightness came on quickly, but stretching throughout the day helped alot.
