Thanks for your advice on this. I did the training Thursday (2 miles) and Saturday (v short run) before running the 10k yesterday / Sunday in Hackney. Unbelievably I ran a PB of 60 minutes and 21 seconds....that compares to 68mins for the Nike 10k in September and 70mins for the British 10k in August. So I am extremely pleased!
And to think I nearly did not run it due to my lingering cold. It was a great race and atmosphere, very enjoyable. The only low points were at around 7k when I felt like giving up. And then at 9k when I forced myself through agonies to sprint to the finish line to try and make the 60mins time..which I did and then promptly crumpled into a heap witha coughing fit.
What was different for this race for me was paying attention to my split times. For the other two races I didn't have my Timex watch ...this time I found it really forced me to race each 1k to try and achieve a decent time per 1k.
thanks
Robert
