Reading Half

68:07 and really pleased even though I did go off like a bit of a loony for the first 10k I think with a bit better pacing and slightly fresher legs ( Still clocked up 90 for the week even with a mini taper) I could have broken 68. Not that I'm complaining and I am really chuffed!!

5k splits were,

15:58
15:34 ( 10k in 31:32 which is a PB by almost a minute)
16:10
16:21
04:03 (Came in at 13.21 miles so slightly long last bit)

So as you can see I paid the price for the 10K PB and it was the legs in the second half which started to give in. The HR average was actually what I would expect for a HM ( even for the fast first half) but the legs wouldn't allow me to keep the speed up for the 2nd half.

4:30 PB from this time last year in Bath so really pleased with the progress, much more confident about my sub 2:25 attempt now.
