eMpTy The weather was very warm and I wasn’t really sure how much effect this would have. Luckily there was only a gentle breeze. They had changed the course this year and we did 2.75 laps of the track before heading out & back along the Promenade, round the track and then out & back along the Promenade before finishing in the stadium. Target was to run consistent 4:20 k’s but as you’ll see the best laid plans !!!!!!!!! Splits were:- 1: 4:00 (6:27) – too fast but not much choice due to the congested way the course goes round the track, legs don’t like the softness of the track 2: 4:10 (6.43) – on Promenade, trying to get back on pace 3: 4:15 (6:51) – coming round top of the course and into a traditionally slow part for me 4: 4.20 (6.58) – finished the twisty bit and back on Promenade, breathing becoming laboured 5: 4.22 (7:01) – trying stay relaxed, breathing not good 6: 4:22 (7.02) – round track and back onto the Promenade, trying to get second wind 7: 4:28 (7:12) – twisty bit, fell into pace of runner in front on narrow path – always seems to happen to me on this course, I’ll learn one day 8: 4:21 (7:01) – back on Promenade, pleased to get back on schedule – missed 8k marker 9: 4:36 (7:25) – suddenly really struggling, breathing laboured legs heavy – blast going to miss 44 mins 10: 4:28 (7:12) – just can’t get it back (6:41) – extra bit as measured by Garmie but shows I managed a “sprint” for last 385ft. Time 43:57, made it just. 6 seconds slower than Bognor but almost 2 mins faster than previous course PB set a year ago. Overall pleased with dipping under 44 for the second time in a couple of weeks but disappointed with last 2k.

chunky Risky one, but maybe a pb here.......UpDATE good and flat but went off too fast and hotter than I'm used to. about 20 seconds off a pb time in the end. Also can't walk this morning tendon very sore.

Hendo My home turf and the course is what I run at least once a week from work. Really hoping for a PB here. (Might be an idea to keep an eye on the weather - I'm not so good at coping with heat...) ***UPDATE Well I was on for the PB but somehow lost a minute between 7 and 9k, I think the heat beat me I'm afraid. Good run but disappointed with the time.
