Well I did MTFU (a bit) and did 8 x 400 metres as part of nearly ten miles home, fastest @ 5.49mm pace, slowest 6.20mm pace which says as much about the route as it does lack of consistency.

This is going to be a long term goal for me. Interbvals last night, struggled to stick to 7 m/m, and doen to 7.15s for the last couple. Guess this is how we get better,

Lyra OK
Great training happening in this thread! Well done, all. :)

Okay, so after thinking my speed's gone backwards, I've had some fairly promising sessions. Managed consistent sub 6 m/m pace for last week's 8 x 400s. Had a cracking speed session with the club last night. Was easily passing a guy on the effort sections (though I was taking my recoveries much easier than him) - chatting to him afterwards, his last 10k a couple of weeks back was 42 minutes. Fills me with hope anyway.

Quite tempted to concentrate all my efforts on the 14 June race. I *have* to make this happen now. :)

Ruth, long term goals are good! I am absolutely confident that you can do this. What really inspires me is looking at how runners like Puddington and Chromey have gradually chipped away at their times, they're running some fantastic PBs now.
