Late evening run, not ideal, but . . . . . . . .

[Julian1970]

So this evenings run was delayed due to other important events (football on tv - but wish I hadn't bothered watching if I'm honest).

The build up to tonight's run has not been ideal. Had a very poor night's sleep last night due to the heat in a very stuffy hotel room. Result, I have been tired most of the day. Add to that, a four hour drive home making the ol' legs stiffen up [quite] a bit. Then having dinner BEFORE a run, ( I am not good running on a full stomach).

So finally set out at 9pm. The potential upside of this is that it had cooled down considerably, but with very little in the way of breeze, there was nothing to cool the sweat down. So no advantage gained there.

But, there has to be something good, something positive to report and that is . . . . . (you'll have to imagine a drum roll here), I averaged 00:06:01 per km. Pretty damn good eh!

Now I can look forward to Saturday's early morning Parkrun, but first things first . . . . a good nights sleep.

Road Runner you are on form again! Neep Neep! You're gonna do great on your park run. Good luck, enjoy and watch out for wylie coyote.

Not guaranteeing that pace on every run Goforitmama, (lovin' the name). But got to keep working on that PB when ever poss.

[PaulBrad Graduate]

That’s a pretty damn fantastic pace well done!!

[Julian1970 Graduate in reply to PaulBrad]

Cheers Paul. My target is 5min per Km, but at the moment that seems a long, long way off.

[Razouski]

That’s a pretty good pace. I can only dream of your target pace, but I’d love to get a sub 25minutes 5k.

[Julian1970 Graduate in reply to Razouski]

Hi Raz, the 25min 5k is the golden number for me too. I don't realistically see me ever breaking that.

[Razouski in reply to Julian1970]

I’m sure you’ll get there if you want to. My problem is I spend all my time working on distance (recently managed 22km) and not enough on running faster.

[Saartjie Graduate]

Woohoo! Well done speedy...especially after the day you had.👍 I forgot all about the footy cos I went out for my run but looked at the score at half time and realised I hasn't missed much 😂

[Julian1970 Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

It was a long day Saartjie and watching that game made it seem a whole lot longer . . YAAAAAAAWWWWWNNNNN!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Julian1970]

It wasn't up to the excitement of the previous match that's for sure!

[Jay66UK Graduate]

Wowsers. Well done!

[Julian1970 Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Cheers Jay - I haven't done the 4th run as I suggested I might, I'll build up to it it a bit more slowly.
