😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

The first 2km warm up was absolutely ghastly with really bad leg pains, despite a bit of stretching. Maybe not enough. I’m going to try and see a sports physio before Budapest, if poss. OK it does wear off but I really thought I’d have to abort this session. First 200 was painful but this decreased as I carried on and I’m awarding the scores above based on the later half of the session when I felt much better. Sad not to join PBs and coach at track but had to get these done early to allow for a London visit. I’m sure I would have gone faster on track but I still felt I did well today in the park on a slightly slippery surface and contending with dog walkers, pigeons, etc.

So pleased it went well in the end and you did well to persist and not stop during the WU. I must admit there are days I need 20 mins to wake up and for the aches to disappear. My WU pace was twice as slow as my 200 metre pace today, which shows how creaky I was heading out. But fantastic work Sarah and glad you enjoyed it too. Hopefully we will see you at a track session soon.
