a PB attempt, but more to try out the planned pace for St Neots half next week. Planned to run even 7:47 splits,
Got off to a slow start in the crowd and down a bit the first mile, but soon dropped into a pace that was about right. Mile 2-4 were quite hilly, especially mile 2 up Alpacca Hill, and pace varied with incline. Miles 3-5 were into a strong headwind. Mile 6 was sheltered and flat, so took advantage of this, as did many people, to put in a fast mile.
Second lap was much the same, without the visit to Alpacca Hill, but with a stronger headwnid around the second half. had obviously paced it about right, and had loosened up too, as splits were faster. At 5 miles my average pace was 7:49, and pulled it back to 7:46 by the end.
Even managed a 7:32 for the final mile which includes the hill up to the boat house & cafe
Had a bit left at the end too, which bodes well for St Neotts.
Ran in blue shoes and feet were fine all teh way around. I've got a sore ankle now, and the piriformis is playing up again, but unless my knees feel it tomorrow I think I'll be running the HM in little blue shoes Hammie was OK. ITB might have niggled, or it might have been down to the pirif.
It's also the most acurate I've had a garmin record a race - only 0.01M over.
