Didn’t go to plan. My breathing was all over the place in the warm up, felt a bit like anxiety maybe about running fast, but could have also been the heat, but I decided it would be a bad move to try and put myself under pressure to get a fast time especially as I just didn’t feel I’d be able to achieve it. A last minute decision meant I grabbed the 31 minute pacer vest 5 minutes before the start! Jake then rang and said he might come along so I told him to be quick and I’d be wearing the pacer vest. Saw him about 1km in and he ran with me the whole way which was really nice and I was able to chat to him, I wouldn’t have been able to do this running fast, also he was pleased as he didn’t need to stop and walk at that pace so it worked out for the best. It’s a recovery week anyway but hopefully I didn’t drop too many points as I was still working quite hard rpe 7 I’d say xxx
