Hi TheEd - hope your weekend has been good.
I ran the 10k race today;
It was very cold with-8 degrees at home setting out (-4 degrees at the start). But the course was free of snow and ice and there was no wind. It was the first race I ever ran in hat and gloves!
I ran 36.49 and was 30th of 550 (8th over 40) which was ok as it was a county championship race, which adds to the quality at the front end.
splits;
1/ 3.31 6/ 3.41
2/ 3.41 7/ 3.41
3/ 3.47 8/ 3.48
4/ 3.43 9/ 3.45
5/ 3.47 (5k in 18.30) 10/ 3.24 (5k in 18.19)
I ran a negative split - which was nice and found a fast finish. Course was fastish with no big hills.
I was happy with this as I am getting back to where I was pre injury in May (best of 36:35). Thanks for helping me to do this!
I have a 6 mile XC race for the club on saturday - so this week I will be running easy 60's, with a fartlek Thursday and rest Friday - if that is ok?
All the best ... Dave
