4.02mi @ 5:26/mi, 170bpm - New course record! 
First half was uphill, second half downhill. Felt I was struggling in the first half but once we reached halfway I was flying on the downs!
Splits:
5:33, 5:40, 5:23, 5:09.
Really happy considering yesterdays run as well - gawd I'm gonna be sore tomorrow

Awesome run - was everything I wanted and more - upper legs were tired from running across fields the day before and tempo run thurs night, but I managed to meet (and beat!) target pace, including stopping for a pee! 
Legs were obviously tired towards the end but generally pace felt easy. Struggled a bit in the middle as there was about 2mi of steady climbing that was very draining, but once that passed I felt a lot better.
Feeling confident that 2:40 is now a possibility at London.

Another tester on the leg - was supposed to be steady run but ran at the club with a few others who pushed the pace a bit - started to feel pretty good @ 10k so pushed on a bit more.

Legs felt a bit better this morning so tried my luck with a 10k... nice and steady, left leg flared up around 3mi, but didn't get too bad.

Easy jog up the road to test the calf/achilles. Right hand leg seems to have settled a bit, right leg has flared up a bit.
