Devoted2Distance May 2012 11:08am, 10 May 2012 1208 posts	0 Devoted2Distance I always go out too fast but 6/1 is just ridiculous. Will I ever learn? (Probably not)
Half Empty May 2012 11:59am, 10 May 2012 290 posts	0 Half Empty D2D, you know a fair few runners from local clubs, so why not try finding one that ususally runs around the time that you are aiming for and then go with them. Will keep you from going too fast at the start and will hopefully help drag you along if needed for the last mile or so

Mick n Phil - Easy - Easy - Easy May 2012 2:30pm, 10 May 2012 15844 posts	0 Mick n Phil - Easy - Easy - Easy good to see you all last night we clocked a quiet 58 mins as usual it was a fabulas night out
Devoted2Distance May 2012 2:48pm, 10 May 2012 1210 posts	0 Devoted2Distance Half Empty - Didn't recognise anyone last night, only a friend of mine from Sphinx AC but he ran slower than me. Plus, you never know what time they will run. I saw a runner I recognised from Banbury at Weston but she ran about 4 minutes slower than her PB so can't always reassure on other people to pace you. May do this at Town & Gown though... are you in for that?
Half Empty May 2012 3:07pm, 10 May 2012 291 posts	0 Half Empty I'm marshalling at T&G so will see you as you fly past. I suppose if they do start slower then you can gradually pick the pace up a bit, get the satisfaction of passing people rather than spending most of the race being passed! It will still fulfill the purpose of making sure you don't burn yourself out in the first mile
Devoted2Distance May 2012 3:09pm, 10 May 2012 1211 posts	0 Devoted2Distance Yes, I do need to curb my enthusiasm at the start - it's always been a problem for me. I just can't wait to get going though, it's like in marathons, first half I always run about same as HM pace and then just die from about 18 miles on. Oh well, not the end of the world. Plus some guy who lives round the corner from me (who I'd never met before!) let me follow him home. Seemed like a good plan 'til he turned into Lewis Hamilton 90mph on the d/c way! Aaaargh.
