Gobi Jul 2018 9:59pm, 5 Jul 2018 64,191 posts	0 Gobi So I did my post crash 5km test on Saturday 11 weeks after my crash 0 18.12 - I was underwhelmed but expected I guess. Intervals Wednesday saw me doing minute on/off with a number close to or below 5mm Now to get back to 17.xx ASAP
Ninky Nonk Jul 2018 3:01pm, 6 Jul 2018 2,801 posts	0 Ninky Nonk Done a couple of races. Hoping to start a bit of speedwork again to get in shape towards September in combination with some regular 5ks in the next couple of months. Minutes on off is one of my favourite sessions gobi.
Daz Love Jul 2018 4:42pm, 6 Jul 2018 1,037 posts	0 Daz Love Gobi - Wont take you long to be back in the 17s NN - I was reading on the 2:45 thread that you was 'up the field' at Alderley Edge 10k. How did it go?
Ninky Nonk Jul 2018 8:27pm, 6 Jul 2018 2,802 posts	0 Ninky Nonk Great race. I quite like the course but it won't be everybody's cup of tea as an out and back on a bypass. Very well organised. It was very hot. Ran conservatively and finished sixth in 34.30 ish. Did the first sizzler yesterday finished 19th in 16.05. In between had a great run out on moel famau along offas dyke. Great views.

rhb Jul 2018 11:59pm, 6 Jul 2018 990 posts	0 rhb ^^ well done NN. 17.24 for me, not bad 20+s quicker than this time last year, my pacing was a bit off tho.
Gobi Jul 2018 10:18am, 7 Jul 2018 64,207 posts	0 Gobi Week 2 - 17.50 on a harder course, Spr would have enjoyed watching the racer escape with 200 to go.
Daz Love Jul 2018 12:24pm, 7 Jul 2018 1,039 posts	0 Daz Love Good Work NN There you go Gobi, said it won’t take you long 😂
Ninky Nonk Jul 2018 1:04pm, 7 Jul 2018 2,804 posts	0 Ninky Nonk Well done Gobi. I think the heat threw everyone's pace off rhb. Congrats on the pb.
rhb Jul 2018 2:15pm, 7 Jul 2018 992 posts	0 rhb Cheers NN, not quite a pb just faster race 1 2018 vs race 1 2017 which means if I progress as well as last year then sub 17 might just happen. 🤞
