Nice work larkim. I also wonder if I can find another 10k, might have to settle for a few summer parkruns which are easier in hot weather. Oh there was a nice race in Harrogate last year, I'll look that up. Stiff uphill finish and mixed terrain, 41 mins last year but I'm a bit fitter than that now perhaps.

Pacer ran pretty much even splits whilst meant he dropped his pacing group at about 8.5km when the uphill got a bit much effort which I think was a misjudgement. Most people's pacing was big positive splits which was pretty predictable given the course. Well organised, it was a runthrough branded event so not cheap (though I had a free place) but they are pretty slick. |

I found a 10k next weekend, but forecasts says +26°C. I don’t think I’ll get a pb in those conditions :). Maybe for the race experience, I don’t know. |

Thought I'd pop in here and blow my own trumpet a little. Ran the Wilmslow 10k this morning and given how my races have gone this year I would have been happy with anything under 40 mins. Instead, the stars aligned and I ran a 19 second PB of 38.57, and that included a brief stop to re-tie a shoelace at 1km. I've the last Sale Sizzler on 3 August so am feeling inspired to try and run my second fastest 5km time (my fastest is on the very generous Mid Cheshire 5km and is a good 35 seconds quicker than any of my others). |
