There are 3 sections to this race. Kms 1-3 mainly downhill and flat. You’ll be under goal pace but be sure not to go too fast, you’ll need to conserve energy for the hills between 4-6km. This is when you’ll be working really hard, but dig deep, once you reach the main road it gets easier and you’ll get a 2nd wind.

The final stretch is flat, but still a grind. The finish down the high street is the best part so try and save some energy for a strong finish.

A tough race and still only midway through the plan so don’t put any pressure on yourself. Dig deep up the hills and run tall. Mark Dunn is running at a very similar pace to you right now and very consistent too, so that could be a good approach

I struggled a bit in the heat, but was happy as I was bang on your targets, both pace and time. See I do listen (sometimes!) 😂 Good to get a 6 mile race under my belt.

This is awesome. Just a few months ago you were running 31 -32 for parkrun. Now you run double the distance, at the same pace, up challenging hills, and on a ridiculously hot day. That’s great progress in a short space of time, so I’m really happy with this one Sue. Excellent running today.
