Hi guys !! Another early morning session successfully completed , sunshine and all ! Running 5K at 'easy run', pace of 35:42 . I feel that my times ,at this pace , are coming down although Im not exerting myself any more than usual , this feels so goooood !! Finished off this morning with a series of sprints at about 90% effort - what a feeling to realize that there is so much more to come with that little bit more effort !! A sub 30 5K is my goal and 2-3 months time will see it within my grasp ,Lol Another 10K on Friday then taper down next week for our B,ham 10K a week sunday !! I so appreciate being able to run in my 60,s , thought my sporty days were over and done, but there,s more to come ,and the run goes on and on, because the next run, is the best one or was it the last one ,when all is said and run ?!?! Have been watching Sebastian Coe,s old races on youtub recently, boy that guy was something else !! The most stylish ,class middle distance runner - poetry in motion - my all-time track hero - what a finishing kick he had !! Its only now that I appreciate that he would have worked so hard on that final 200 metre section and sprint repeats , what an athlete !!
Take it 'easy ' !!: Hi guys !! Another early... - Bridge to 10K
Take it 'easy ' !!
Great to hear Fit4life! The weather this morning was fab, wasn't it! I wish you all the best for the Birmingham 10k - I know a few people that are doing that. I was tempted living nr Birmingham, but I really want to get my 10k time at least <60 mins before I go to any events I think.
Sebastion Coe was indeed something else, I wouldn't recommend anyone comparing their runs to his though 😆
The title of your post has got me listening to a certain Eagles track 🎵🔉🕺
Thanks Mike; yes !! We,re off to see Eagles next month at the B,ham arena too , cant wait !! We,re basically jogging the B,ham 10 as my wife and I are at different stages on are running /trainng ,and its for charity too .Daughter and boyfriend are also running with us ,its a family affair so time is of no real importance on the day !!
No, there,ll be no 'Seb Coe,ing' in my house, thats for sure !!
Is that THE eagles or a tribute? I saw their tribute band recently in Birmingham, the lead singer particularly was very good. That should be great anyway, so lucky for you to have that AND running to look forward to 👊👍👏🎵🏃
I love this performance particularly of their popular hit:

Thanks Mike !! To hear the guitar solo on 'Hotel' played live has been one of my long held dreams !! Its the real deal we,ll be watching so another few weeks and we,ll be buzzing no doubt !! We go to a number of gigs each year ,Take That (for the wife !!) are next up , then Kelly Jones(Stereophonics) followed by Paul Weller , both in July !!
Well done for 'running down the road '!😀 Also those 10ks will help you achieve that sub-30 target!👍
What a lovely 5k! Can't wait to do 35..40 and think it was Easy. Maybe peaceful easy? 😉
