So, post graduation at my steady sloath pace with sub 3Km 30 min runs.... I didn't really feel I could try to run faster or keep going for longer than my 30 to 33mins... so I tried faster and shorter....
So, from 10:15/11:40 mins / km I was aiming for a 20 minute 2km run!
Encourage, and accompanied by my 14 year old son, (who can walk faster than I run) - I gasped my way there and back to a stunning sub 9 mins/km 2km run.
It did remind me a bit of my W1 R1, but at least I did it. I think I won't be trying it again very soon, but it was definately an experience.
A lot more consolidation is required before I work on speed... it's clearly not my thing, athough I would LOVE it to be my thing one day. I think if I can ever get a 5k in 30 mins I'm flying over to the UK to find a park run! : )
