5km using the Tabata method of intervals.  Fun, fast and harder than I thought...

A partial return to Sunday's route with an extremely hilly twist...but this time without the 600 other runners in my way.

The view is free, but you have to pay for those steep, sharp, inclines A timeless 10 (but I'll guess at a double dipping 54)

A10/11

021
At 9.30 this morning - dogged by six months of injury and the recommendation of a sports professional to 'take it easy' - my mind (much like the ground we ran on) was crumbling...Taking that into account, it was a beautiful day (and a beautiful day is as good as any day to run in the hills).  

It was too crowded and ill marshalled at the start, but I pounded on, dodged the crowds, found space and marked my equivalent runners.  I smiled in the sun, I winked at the cameras, I loosened up and enjoyed the ride - I let go on the downhills (as taught to me in the backwoods of Tennessee) and listened hard to the steady beat of the devil's metronome as I made the tough ascents.  I didn't sprint for the finish, I didn't need to - I finished strong and that's what mattered.

At present it's timeless - but I would guess at a comfortable 50/51....maybe? (edit...50.58)

It's certainly not my fastest on that route (we'll save that for another year) - but it might be the most fun I've ever had running it and I think I'm finally coming to realise what's more important to me.

...There was just one thing missing.

It was all up hill apart from the downhills.

Super hard 10k. Overtaking cyclists is good for the soul. 10k. 55mins.
