Pizza Boy May 2018 10:02am, 10 May 2018 2,272 posts	0 Pizza Boy Cheers though not to be. Was tired before and during. Set off at 71s as planned but after 2k started losing pace quite quickly and was moving backwards. Salvaged a 1 second PB in 15:06. Should hopefully be a lot more to come with speed work and on fresher legs though. Now time to recover and taper for Highgate.

Ninky Nonk May 2018 10:34pm, 10 May 2018 2,784 posts	0 Ninky Nonk Congratulations on the pb pb! Did a great run local 5k tonight - 16.4x - fun and enjoyed it. Thought I'd gone the wrong way at one point. Bit of a tortuous route due to some construction work.

J2R May 2018 1:49pm, 12 May 2018 1,233 posts	0 J2R Quite pleased with today's track race. I chose to do only the 400 metres because of a 10 miler tomorrow, and was expecting to run somewhere between 65 and 70 seconds, but actually ran 62.8. First time I've ever run a track 400, and I'm sure I could improve on that (I've not run at all in the last week apart from two miles easy yesterday because of a chest infection). Maybe even a sub-60 is possible some time, but I'm reluctant to give myself another time target to beat myself up with.
