Minimag Jul 2021 8:42am, 2 Jul 2021 366 posts	0 Minimag Glad there s this thread, 70% is a stretch to far for me. I have been hitting upper 50's again lately and have high hopes of getting into the 60's on Sunday, when I'm doing a flat half.
Shades Jul 2021 8:51am, 2 Jul 2021 467 posts	0 Shades Good luck for Sunday Minimag. 70% is out of my league too, I've only done one race this year and managed to get 63.16% WAVA, so happy with that.
Kieren Jul 2021 1:07pm, 2 Jul 2021 4,202 posts	0 Kieren Well done minimag and good luck on the 10K. One thing that worked really well for me recently was making a point to nail hydration and sleep in the week before the race. I think I might always be a little undeehydrated and you can't fix that in 24 hours. The same with sleep, especially as most of us won't sleep well the night before a race. Race day I was 1kg heavier than normal and took a big chunk of time off, so it's something I intend to repeat. Obviously mileage might vary depending on current sleep / hydration.

Watford Wobble Jul 2021 7:26pm, 2 Jul 2021 9,419 posts	0 Watford Wobble I’m pleased to report my current trousers still fit. 60% is a dream too far at the moment.
Minimag Jul 2021 12:24pm, 4 Jul 2021 368 posts	0 Minimag Well, I did it - 61.42% Wava for the half. I ran this one a bit odd, as I had never broken a 50 min 10k and it was a real monkey on my back, so I treated the half as a 10k with a 11k warmdown at the end. Did the 10k in under 50 minutes and took almost 5 minutes of my PB for a half! Really, really pleased with this run

Shades Jul 2021 1:07pm, 4 Jul 2021 468 posts	0 Shades Great result Minimag and that's a huge PB too. 😄
Watford Wobble Jul 2021 6:58pm, 4 Jul 2021 9,421 posts	0 Watford Wobble Well done Minimag. Recover well and lets hope you can go better. It's a novel way of gaining a new PB.
