Training Plans & Runs | Rye to Hastings

1:50:55 the time to beat from last year. Conditions look better this time around so if you get the early pace right and don’t go off too fast, I think there is definitely some room for improvement. Taking a look at your splits from last year is never a bad idea.

PACE

Thankfully the rain never materialised but the down side of that was the heat was quite oppressive and I don’t remember ever sweating this much in a race 🥵 Started well running between 8.39 & 9.02 for the first five miles then hit the hills and it all slowed down somewhat from there. Quite muddy and slippery in places with a fair bit of walking annoyingly. Once I got to the top of Barley Lane although tired by then I had enough to pick the pace back up and did an 8.56, 8.15 & 7.46 for the last 0.6 😊 Nearly 2 minutes quicker than last year so happy with that 👍

Andy Alabaster

It was humid wasn’t it. Sounds like you ran a really good race though Andy and good to see that improvement even with the slightly challenging underfoot conditions. To have that pace in the legs after running 9-10 miles is a really good sign of both endurance and strength right now. I think you’ve got some really good race times in you with the likes of Great South to look forward to. Great running Andy.
