Run > Race

Pretty disappointing run today, it was going OK until the 8th mile, I was feeling good, running with a 2 other guys, but it all suddenly went tits up. Didn't actually feel that bad from 8, but I just couldn't keep up the pace.
The main target is 10k's anyway in the next couple of months, which the training at present is more geared to.

Also, I really don't think complete rest leading into a race suits me, in fact I seem to do better when I do the exact opposite. Cant say I felt any better with the easy week and 2 rest days, if fact I was much more stressed out not doing anything!

8th place, but a weak field compared to normal, and not even 1st M50. 1:19:06.

(I was actually faster at 10 miles today than at St Neots HM last year(1:17:28), which shows how bad the last 5k was today, well, the last 6 miles really! Pretty obvious I need to work on the endurance not the spped)
