The week was reasonable - quietish training week - 40k mon-fri,with a 5x1km interval session Wed pm, 358/400/400/356/356.
Saw the podiatrist Friday and talked about shoes and shinsplints - will stick to the ASICs
Unfortunately 6am Sunday morning was called into work - very stressful situation, lots of adrenaline flowing. I didnt think I'd get to the run but managed to arrive at 720, stood in line to pay and then straight to the start - no warmup unfortunately.
I started too fast, 3:52 first km then went 4:18/4:27/4:27/4:30 for a 21.36 split. I knew at this point I wasnt going to negative split, needed to hang on to 4:30 pace.
Returned in 4:29/4:32/4:33/4:35/4:17 (22:36) to finish in 44.04
So I'm pretty happy with the time, all things considered, esp toughing it out not to lose pace in the last 4k when I felt like crap
I had expectations of doing sub44 so was a little disapppointed, but my mind was definitely on other things.
Saw Jon out there early, then didnt see him coming back from the 5k turn, perhaps he decided to do 4k. Also saw TNTR (I think - the garmin strapped to the wrist a giveaway) finished a few minutes faster than me.
Onwards now, no real 10k time trial type run til the Bridges for me - may run the Jihn Forrest run. On current 10k time the tables predict 3:24(Daniels) or 3:26(McMillan) marathon times.
This is still consistent with my sub330 aim, so I'll buckle down and get some distance into my legs in the coming month or two.
