Nearly there! 50:03 at the Sweatshop 10k in Cambridge last weekend the day after a 17-miler. I only decided to do the race a few days before.

Oh, so close! Impossible to believe you wouldn't have done it without the 17 miler the day before!

My legs were tired but I didn't feel too bad. I even had enough in the tank for a bit of a sprint finish. Wasn't quite enough though.

Posted a decent 51 minutes at St Ives today, felt tough but OK once I'd got my breath back. Think I'll have a crack at 50 in York - does anyone know what the course is like?

It feels really good to be getting back to fitness.

Well done F4rley :-)
I'm sure you'll easily go sub 50 in York. Make sure you get quite close to the front though. There are a lot of slower runners/walkers. There are slight slopes in places but definitely not hilly. And it starts at 9 so it won't be too hot.

Good luck!
