Great writeup Fd, congrats on the 5min PB. Is it not a negative split if you run the second half faster than the first??

I couldn't figure out why you were stating the obvious, till I reaised I'd typed positive instead of negative brain may not be fully functioning!!

ha ha I stole your technical term I'm sure he would laugh at that but I certainly couldn't figure out most of this stuff on my own, which reminds me N, I forgot to say 'thank you'

I guess that up to this point I've always thought I was following whatever training plan I was doing but not seeing the results, the truth is though there was always something or other wrong like running easy runs too fast or skipping stuff or mixing plans with the club sessions etc etc. I'm learning though!

Dubgal72

Yes, I should have qualified that with 'you put the smart training in, you get the results back out.....'

Congrats Firedance, that is a really nice chunk off your PB. Well done you!

Nice work on the paced miles. Deffo looking at a 1:2x:xx for Trim, especially if it's as flat as Tang claims

I'll predict low 1.28.xx or high 1.27.xx for her, she'll* totally shoot me down but she* is more than capable.

*she being AM not the cats mother!!

I suppose I should publicly acknowledge that you were in fact *right* especially as I gave you such a bollocking for your comment at the time :rolleyes:

Congrats, great report!

Great improvement on the last 10 miler. 30s per mile and about 6%.
Keep doing what your doing!

aquinn

Brilliant, a fantastic improvement since Stook and so strong. Second half paces are brilliant. Absolutely delighted for you. Well done AM.

Mulberry

Wow, that race report reads like a dream! Really well done FD!

aero2k

Hi AM,

Great performance and report - you almost made me wish I'd been running it too!

You're well set up for Rotterdam - you'll find your best improvements come over the next phase of training so you can really look forward to it now.

thanks R but I didn't make the team results so not much use to anyone but myself yesterday, the others were truly fantastic.
