well, I just did this one today and finished in 55:11, which is 21 seconds slower than my first 10k last month! As it happens, my last 10k felt a bit all over the place, so today I deliberately maintained a more even pace than my first attempt and the net result is virtually the same, rather than going off like a coiled spring and then flagging quickly which I did last time. I did, however, have a much more comfortable run this time and I really enjoyed the event. I was cautious about pushing the boat out too soon, perhaps a little too much, so I erred with caution and stayed steady which I learnt a lot from. Perhaps next time I'll start to quicken up a bit more after the halfway mark with the benefit of a little more confidence from the two outings I now have under my belt at this distance. Overall, I was happy with my little run today. I've got some more 10k's lined up to have another crack at
