I had a relatively disappointing day (although I need to get a grip on what is essentially a first world problem). Finished 2:48:31 - 4th in my age category but I struggled second half when my hip flared up and I gave up a few minutes towards the end.

rhb Oct 2024 8:53am, 14 Oct 2024 2,425 posts	Quote Pin rhb My last double figure run yesterday went ok. It was 8 steady into 2 @ Mara Pace/Effort. The 2 were done at around 6m40 pace but my HR was high 150's and I'll defo be running lower HR than that for a good while on Sunday if everything goes to plan. Suggests it'll be marginal for sub 3 still even though watch is now low 2h52 on it's prediction. Reassuringly perhaps, I compared to the same session ahead of MCR and the 2 miles were quicker for lower HR, although conditions were different it was a very windy day in Weston Super Mare back in April.
