This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

40s faster than last year (and another barrel of beer)

10M am incl 5M race in 26.14 Weston 5 mile race

I seem to be back into my faster than last year groove. Pitty it didn't turn up on marathon day. But at least it's genuine...

I ran today's race two weeks after the marathon last year as well and was dead chuffed to win and take away a barrel of beer as first prize.

This year, I was about 40 seconds faster. That's 8 seconds a mile faster than last year... exactly what I tried at the marathon.

To add to my pleasure at my time, I also apparently broke the course record by 20 or so seconds. Not bad. And worth a bottle of champagne to add to my barrel of beer.
