I just finished a 7.538km running that lasted about 0hh:42mm:7ss !
I was not sure if I would be running today as I tripped over in the house last night and have a few scrapes on my arm and leg. I was not too sore, so went for it anyway.
I have set up a 5km session on my Garmin watch with a warm-up and cool-down. I used my Arlesey to Stotfold segment to see how I was progressing. I basically went all out on this and did not feel I could go much quicker. I suspect I could run more efficiently with some coaching, but I do what I can. The route takes me along the Pendleton Way cyclepath and then it is all the way along Vaughan Road that seems to go on forever. I had to go around the corner at the end as my watch said I was not quite half way. Then it is all the way back. I was fairly consistent with my splits.
It was not until I got back that I saw my actual 5km time, which just sneaked under 25 minutes. That is where I have wanted to be. Apparently it is only my third slowest, but not by much.
This also takes me over 1000km for the year. I only just managed that in the whole of last year. I will smash that record this time.
It was a bit of a walk on the way back as I was worn out.
This afternoon I was busking in Hitchin again. There were loads of people around and our group seemed to be appreciated. Then as soon as I got home I needed to record some songs for online open mic. Just got them done in time. It has been an exhausting day overall.
Run free and stay well.
