My trusty pace sheet is telling me 9:30 per mile is good here.

The important thing in a race like this is to make sure you don’t get pulled away with the crowds and find yourself running low 9 min miling or even under. Keep an eye on that pace closely for the first 3 or 4 minutes just so you can settle into your own speed.

Really like where you are at with your running now and this should be a fantastic weekend away with friends. Try and enjoy the experience without worrying too much about time.

The targets I set are more there as a guide and hopefully give you confidence and self belief as to what is possible.

I will never be disappointed if a runner doesn’t hit the goal. I’m only disappointed when the effort level is not there without good reason.

Best of luck Klare. Go and smash it.
