What a vile weather day!! Wanted to try for 27.55, a 5.35 pace as I feel that’s a level I my legs and lungs could currently manage at about an 8 effort, but the wind was so strong and I failed this pace from the start, got to half way about 14.15 so knew if I kept it going I could still do sub 29 so I powered on along and came in at 28.03, which is actually only 8 seconds more than I aimed for although it seems a bigger a difference as it starts with 28 not 27! Coach said he’d pace me and help shade me from the weather, unsure how he thought he’d do that from quite a few metres behind me though 🤔 🤣. He did very well though and ran his longest distance for quite a while although he did do 10 mins more than he should have so he may have overtrained this week 😘 xxx
