I was really prepared today, did my warm up and felt positive, ready and strong. I found it really good all the way round but it got tough around mile 6 and 7 then was ok again. Mark was a good motivator here. It felt like I ran the race really well but disappointingly I didn’t make as fast a time as last year. That’s the one thing about running I don’t like – always comparing to previous attempts at a route rather than being proud of that day’s effort! Yet I can’t stop myself from doing this 😧 Great to see you and Jax around the route – always a welcome boost. Thank you.
We can choose what we compare our performances against. You could choose last years time or go back further and pick a time when running a really hilly 10 mile race wasn’t possible. So I think it’s important to take the positives from the day and that’s how you felt and got round in a decent time. I’m sure there will be a few races coming up where you do beat your time from last year. Both times I saw you on the route you looked super strong. So really well done Lou
