    6.55 miles in 51:01, I ran each mile a touch faster than the last , passed 10k at 48:33 which is 3 seconds off my previous training pb but it was never hard work.

    This was one of those perfect runs!:D

    Tire yourself out nicely there before Saturday. There’ll be none of that anti-slow behaviour on my watch!!

    Met Claralara and Spaghetti in the park at 9 and trotted around for 14.08 miles in 2:15, Claralara had a lap done early seeing her to a very comfortable 20.74 miles even managing to pick up the pace into the car park.

    2 mile warm up followed by 6.2miles in 45:40 and I walked home with a big smile from ear to ear!:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I didn't think the legs had much left at about 5.8miles but when I saw sub 46 was possible I managed to up the pace for the home stretch, great for the confidence and can now see myself doing 76ish in Mallow.
