Hi TheEd,
Managed to get a late entry to y/day's 10Km race. Didnt know was running till 20 mins before, not the best prep after starting work with organisers at 7am!
Was a magically day, sunny, cool breeze - a general success for first time event with 960 runners.
Time: 43.23
Report: Were quite tired, set out medium effort for 2-3km's then pushed on a little and tried to hold each increment until about 7Km, worked OK. Were holding around 160bpm. (needs to be higher). Passed 5Km at about 22:04. Knew I was heading for a sub 45min. Ploughed on for rest of race - breathing felt muzzled(!), legs held up no probs, managed a good hard finish over last 250m.
Were happy with time and how felt considering. Last night went to a music gig - there was some dancing going on and a few drinks :whistle:
Rested today. Maybe some stretching tomorrow and then a small Easy run on Wed? What you say?
Cheers,
D
