It’s hard to describe the 5k in as much detail as the previous day's 10. It was on roads we train on all the time. But it just went so well. I followed another runner for the first part of the run and overtook them on the way back and kept the pace high (that’s “my high” which is 12km/h).
I had enough back for a bit of a fast finish, so much so that I ran my fastest mile ever in that final mile. But ultimately i was to get another record taking a minute off my 5k PB. I was delighted. I ran well, ran hard and persevered through a tough patch towards the end when I could have easily slowed down yet still made my PB but I kept going.
I made it under 25 mins for my 5k – and actually nearer 24 and a half – which was loads better than I’d imagined wishing for. I did well and I’m proud of my run.
So now on to the next run which will be the Spitfire 10k in North London in a couple of months time. I can’t wait!!
