I’m doing a 10k tonight on the same course as last month. Part of me doesn’t want to even go because I really don’t think I can match last months great run, I’ve not been running as well this month. I hoped to have lost some weight too, and I haven’t 😳😳
I find it quite hard to pace undulating races too as you can’t just run at the needed pace! I’ve written my splits down from last month so I at least have an idea where I should be for each mile, but at the moment my anxiety might get the better of me 😕 Also looks like it will be quite warm which means I will be hopeless 😂

Are you able to just go and enjoy it, GF? Some of my fastest runs have come from that mindset.

Give it your best GF. It may not happen but at least you gave it a shot. There is always another time, preparation will be better.
With everything you mention and the training you've managed you've given it your best.
Let us know how you get on.

Gymfreak - don't be so hard on yourself. Just go and run as you feel without worrying about splits.
I've got my one and only 10k of 2019 tomorrow night. Did this race last year and loved it, it's hilly, 574 feet of climb. Last year I only managed a WAVA of 57%, don't think I can go any faster than last year, but I am a year older and last year it was 28 degrees and it's not expected to be that hot this time. We'll see.

Well after all that I’m glad I bothered. Genuinely really surprised to be 46 seconds quicker than last month after being sure I couldn’t match it!!! 49.13 gives me 62.99% 😃
One more go at the same course next month, can I get into the 48s?!?!
