Hi ED,
wanted to round up with my race Saturday I got 2nd overall the guy who beat me was off like a rocket, Sadly no prizes for 2nd place winner takes all 1000 pounds and a holiday in a 5 star hotel. I ran well and very controlled effort it was extremely hot by 8am so knew better than to hurt myself. Again slight frustration about the course as it was four laps and found myself constantly bobbing and weaving around people as it was a parkland type race.41 mins for the 10 11k what ever it was??. I went easy this morning as a recovery run 1 hour easy tomorrow and then on to cycle. I am going to set my stall out at 7.10 to 715 per 2k and see how I go. I think also I will aim for 3.15-3.20 per k on the 1k reps. The build up has really helped my aerobic base as I feel pretty good this morning or it maybe just that I didn't hurt myself yesterday. Next race will be the 23rd over 10.5k hopefully a bit more runner friendly still feeling happy that things are moving forward and positive. Will update again after the 2k reps are in the bag so speak soon and regards jon.
