Much better run, helped a lot by (who'd a thunk it?) slowing down. Looking forward to the next week now.

Crazy huh? Slow down to speed up... build that endurance and speed shall already be there!

Great job, enjoy week 8

Yep. Turns out slowing down at the start cost me... a whole 30 meters short of the last run. No brainer really!

30 meters? That’s cool... tiny slow down huge difference.

I think it's the not going out to fast at the start that's the key for me anyway. A gentle start seems to help me warm up better, and leave a bit more in the tank for later. That run was much more even than the last.
