Came into this race off the back of just 2 legitimate training runs since FLM. Strategy was to try to run 8 minute miles, and either PB (PB is 1.21.10) or blow up! <p>

Miles 1 & 2 were a lap around the park, followed by a negotiation of the local housing estate. Miles 3 & 4 are a long up hill drag. Mile 5 was mainly downhill. The next few miles were out on te country lanes, with mile 8 being quite a steep drag, a few people were walking this one. I had lost a lot of time when I got to the top of this one, and if I continued running at the same pace I would be outside of a PB. <p>

I pushed it for the last 2 miles, and came in with my 2 fastest miles of the race. Had I known I had that much in me I would have pushed earlier to get sub 1.20. No worries, there'll be another 10 miler coming along this year.
