I did a 10 km yesterday and was hoping for a sub 40 but it had a few hills near the end that slowed me down. 40:17 wasn't bad though, and I'm now starting to increase the mileage again which wil bring benefits I'm sure.

Runamok Aug 2009 11:07pm, 25 Aug 2009 291 posts	Quote Pin Runamok Timed 10km run tonight at my club. Aimed at a 40 min 10km and completed it in 40:06. Felt like I was running with a dead leg at one point but managed to shake that off mid way through the run. Useful session to blow away cobwebs from Sunday and prepare for next 10km race this Sunday. Am off training the OH tomorrow before LR on Thu and Sat at easy pace.

LouLou Aug 2009 11:31pm, 26 Aug 2009 1,496 posts	Quote Pin LouLou BS - just get stuck into your core work and weights. Bikes are expensive! Good luck for Longford!! Don't suppose anyone can recommend some cheap weights to buy? I was looking at dumbells and a bar with vinyl york weights as the chrome ones are a bit more expensive and once you buy a bench.... Think I may be a liability using the bar on my own without someone to grab it when I get the shakes...
