*Anj* Well that was interesting. Quite 'hilly' in the first mile which slowed me down. Tried to keep it steady after that and then picked up the pace in the final mile. Just under 2 mins outside my 2006 5 Mile PB which was on flat road. :) Very happy. Unaffiliated 39:13 39:13 46:52 51.64

Forest Runner My hamstrings were so sore during the day that I ran the course slowly before the race in an attempt to loosen them up. It didn't really work and my legs were hurting all the way around. When it came to the downhill section I was slowing down while all around me were speeding past. Normally I manage to go much faster on that section. I was very disappointed with my time in this race. Bracknell Forest Runners 32:37 34:44 34:44 69.64
GAZGIB For the first time in ages my calf muscle was fine despite the undulation and uneven surface. For some reason my breathing went at 3M so I had to take quick, shallow breaths which must have slowed me down. But the last mile is a glorius down hill sprint.

Heavyweight Watch time. Nice friendly race although a bit crowded at the start. Finished strongly downhill but could not quite catch clubmate Steve.i UKnetrunner 35:28 36:56 37:58 60.65
Jock Itch Who knows. Trails so prob not a PB. Give it a bosh though :) ****UPDATE**** New Pb. Went real well. Felt strong too so near to Sundays hard race. 4th overall, 3rd in age group. Datchet Dashers 27:11 28:37 28:41 75.46
JPK Ive gotta pb, I need one for this year. Ive only run one other 5 miler ever and that was a couple of years ago. Update - Massive PB of around 3.5 mins! What can I do on a flat course now I wonder? Reading Joggers 33:00 35:04 37:00 35:04 60.72
Konaboy Felt pretty comfortable throughout. So should have run harder but not confident after lack of recent training & the yateley10K result 2 weeks previously. Only 13secs over last year's time so fairly happy. Reading Roadrunners 35:50 37:36 37:36 59.33
