Really pleased with how today went! Andy was running a steady 10k and was going to be approx 70 mins so I tried to keep him in my sights. It was a 2 lap course and I was just behind him on the first lap but lost him at the water station at the start of the second lap. Very pleased though, 1:11:33 so happy to be closer to 70 mins than 75 this time. Fastest 10k since January 2023.
This is fabulous. So pleased this went well. It’s amazing what a positive effect a pacer can have. The reason is we switch off mentally. Suddenly rather than all the doubts that creep into our head about our pace, how we feel, we focus on one thing, keeping up with the pacer. In this case Andy. When I do any race I try and find someone running my target speed and use them to focus on. Easier done in big races, but parkrun it can work well too. Really happy you enjoyed this one and saw progress here. Well done Sarah.
