I did my first 10k of the year yesterday. I haven't been out more than 4-5 times since the half marathon 2 weeks ago, just recovering resting a bit and trying to prepare for the 10k. I set off trying to keep a steady 7.55 per mile pace but I started to lose a bit of ground around the 7K mark as the course deviated and went up and down here and there, and my eventual race pace was 8.08 per mile. I was aiming to get as close to 50mins finishing time as possible so I was happy to get an official finishing time of 51:00 - although the (trusty?) old Garmin said I did 50.25. It's a new pb for me - I've lopped 4mins 11secs off my last effort. I've got another 4 or 5 10k's lined up for summer and I know I wasn't running as strong as I might have done yesterday and obviously I'm looking to improve in the future. It's getting better little by little. I WILL get a sub 50!
Anyway, my new pb - 51:00

Well done Rob.To knock over 4mins off of your previous best is a good result.

Great PB Rob,

I'm sure you'll be even faster next time. 2 PB's in a few weeks, great stuff!

Well done, you must be chuffed with your time.

Well done Rob

Thanks, folkies.
after the horrid day I've had on the domestic front, you would be amazed how much a few simple smiling emoticons mean.
Bless you

Nice one, Rob
