A PB! Last years time was 39:19 and this year was 38:31. Definitely a hard one to pace, I had to drop the pace on the 4/5 mile a tad as I was struggling because of the heat but overall happy with how I did. I also made a rookie error and put hairspray in my hair and as soon as i started sweating it all went in my eyes and I couldn’t see properly! 😂
I probably shouldn’t laugh at that, but it’s the funniest bit of feedback I’ve read today. A really strong run, congrats on your PB. In terms of the pacing, it’s hard to get right, especially this distance as we do it so rarely. But you did well to adjust mid race and then still finish strongly, so it’s good to have that awareness of how you feel to make that tweak. Loads of positives to take from this one and we can continue to make gains going forward. Well done Jodie.
