RE: The rest of 2010 - between marathons
It's weird isn't it, how running fast is seemingly infinitely harder in training than under race conditions? I find it nothing short of astonishing how quickly I run a race (relative to the trainining for same) only then to find it utterly impossible to achieve the same pace in training soon after. Weird. I struggle to believe it's entirely to do with adrenalin, I think something else is going on in the brain which is plain strange. I was going to say it's a pity we can't bottle it, but it's probably just as well.

Afraid I'm not a big fan of Hal, but I will be interested to read what EG has to say about it (I'm assuming he will give it a read?)

Anyway it sounds like you might be closer to that 45 minute 10k than you thought. Keep at it!
Run. Just run.
