B.A.R. = Bloody Awful Race. I had a shocker on Sunday at St Albans 10k. My worst 10K time since 2006. Given that I ran a 10k PB on NYD this is a mega dip in form. The worst thing about it was the mental torture I put myself through from about half way. The world and his wife went past me, but it got bad in the last mile when granddads with ipods were razzing me off. All for a wooden medal (but not a spoon). Anyone else fancy a moan? |

my Liverpool Arf was an awful time compared to previous outtings at this distance - just have to put things into perspective and move on - I would'nt beat yourself up too much Chiefy. Windermere will probably be a crap run to, but what the hell - still another marathon in the bag. |

My women's 10k was a shocker yesterday. Worst 10k since my first I ran in 2009! I walked a huge portion of it as I was knackered and had a bit of a "heart flip" in the throat at the 2k mark . I keep beating myself up for it but probably the stark reality is that I have had a virus/cold the past 10 days. If Manchester doesnt kick start the love then I'm giving up. I got to 6k and thought "I bloody hate running"

Kimbles if your not well, your not well and running will surely find this out - never mind racing!

I'd have taken half as long again as the slowest actual runner on Saturday, so a DNS was the best I could do.

80-90% of my races have been BARs. Hate racing! |
