Running warm up/down 16:00 [3] 2.0 mi (8:00 / mi) +10m 7:53 / mi
11 AM
Running race 34:10 [5] 6.2 mi (5:31 / mi) +10m 5:29 / mi
Telford 10k, 75th, 34:10
Frankly not very good.
First 5k on target, 16:31, felt very comfortable for most of this.
In hindsight this wasn't quick enough and should have pushed on while feeling good.
After 5k, hit the small hill, legs began to hurt but I didn't battle through it and never really recovered. Once I realised I wasn't going to pull back the time, I switched off and dropped down a gear for the last 2 miles. It still hurt a lot but I wasn't pushing back against it, just doing enough to suggest I was in a race, but the thought did cross my mind it felt like a tempo effort.
A nasty wake up call really
- run more 10ks
- run more threshold sessions
- go off a bit harder
Positives are
If that was a bad race, the good one will be good
Must be in cracking 5k shape
