Notes & Comments
The Eton Dorney 1/2....
The plan was a long warm up 4.5m - Done
Then just go out and see where im at at a good pace..... great to see Joe at the start (and every 3m) and got a big hug of DIY Diva too.
So off to the start.......... the 1st m ok at 6:34, 2nd 6:45, 3rd, 7:01 and 4th 7:10, ok, ok not good something is wrong, breathing is fine but there is nothing there to keep or produce any decent pace.... drop to the side, I have 2 options, can it or wait for DIY and run as a trg run with her. Opt for the second, so waited a few minutes (walking and waiting - only 1 runner asked if I was ok.......) DIY then caught me up and asked if she would like some company, accepted.
So for the next 9m ran round chatting and catching up, whilst pulling / pacing DIY to sub 8:30mm which is what she wanted.
Even though I canned racing at 4m, it was just what the doc ordered a bit of DIY, made me smile and be happy with my running as a nice long training run, we came in somewhere around the 1:50 mark at 8:20mm.
So thanks DIY, very much appricated
Its not always about the racing.
17.6m done in total, am doubt wheter to do the Picnic in 2 weeks, whatever hapens its not a race to race.... so will treat as a trg run if I do decide to do it.
