Really enjoyable. Ran with Claire and Stu, and Martin who was pacing 23 minutes. It was totally relaxed on a sunny still day and we talked all the way to the turn.
Kev Davies had run ahead so I went to catch him thinking I could probably catch Jimmy Elford on the line. Jimmy was pacing 22 minutes and was 200m or more ahead. I got quicker as I went and my final km was comfortably under 20 minutes pace. I still knew I had more to give but didn’t push it.
My buttocks and upper hamstrings are incredibly tight and sciatica is still there so I am managing it. Going out for n easy run now (Sunday) but unlikely as long as 120 minutes and
