Tough 5k club run

Me struggling at the finish of a club 5k run last night. Finding it difficult to regulate my pace, about 30 secs slower than my PB. Back to intervals and hill work I think!

Oh dear, that doesn't sound like you OG. Perhaps the marathon has messed with your head a bit, or maybe you haven't recovered fully, and need to give yourself a wee bit longer. Intervals sound like a great idea, but I would say that, wouldn't I? I do love my intervals.

Hope you're feeling a bit more like your old self very soon X

Thanks AM! I'm just having problems running at anything other than my marathon pace at the moment. Set off far too quick last night and then ran out of steam. Only got it back in the last Km. Never mind! just need to practice. Still not a bad time for an old 'un :-) .
