Well done all who got PBs today...my attempt at a PB in the GYR 10k ended up in frustration and sore calves/soleus/achilles.
Started off OK, hit the first 1K in 4m:20, the 2nd in 4m:21 then it went down hill from there. My calves started to tighten up after around 2.5K and I had to start a cycle of stop/stretch/run for the rest of the run. I tried everything I could do to ease the stiffness (re-lacing my shoes, taking off my sock on the right foot, massaging my calves etc.) but it just wouldn't ease.
In the end I limped home (quite literally) in 54m...around 10 minutes slower than I was hoping for.
I've now pulled out of Mablethorpe 10k next Sunday and I am seriously considering pulling out of the GNR...
It was good to see Roo at the finish line, she did well and looked like she had given her all...well done Roo, good effort

Well done on eveyone's PBs
I got a big fat shiny PB today at Leeds Half Marathon. I knocked more than 8 1/2 minutes off my previous best by my watch time. My official time is not up on the results site yet but it can't be too different. Needless to say I am well chuffed
