Just 3 weeks after Edinburgh Marathon I decided to run in a local 10k race! So with 1 week of no running followed by 2 weeks of short steady runs I line up to start the Sport in the Port 10k! A hot and humid morning but an enjoyable race. I came 2nd just 17s behind the 1st lady. I was pleased with how I ran and how my legs felt. I just had no change of pace. I couldn't lift the pace to stay with her or change gear at the end in an attempt to catch her. I did feel like I could go on for several more miles at this pace though! A sub 36 min effort (35.47) which isn't bad!
I'm quite pleased as I really didn't know what state my legs would be in. I had hoped to nip under 36 mins but in all honesty didn't really expect to! Looking at the results later I hadn't realised that I was 6th overall so only beaten by 4 men!
