[QUOTE="s_k_s, post: 792657, member: 27169"] Sun 8/3 - Surface = pavement/tarmac 59 mins 11 secs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray! Pop the champagne corks! Second half was much tougher than 1st half even though started off with it raining cats and dogs. I was totally focused on the goal though and didn't notice the rain and weather conditions. Thankfully wasn't windy. Didn't feel any niggles other than some shoulder pain at the start of the 5th mile but that soon went away with raising my arms. Breathing as usual was the limiting factor but numerous deep breaths and adjustment of pace got me through. I was conscious throughout to not let the pace drop. Keeping on my toes and keeping the rhythm helped. Day 39 - 59 mins 11 sec - Run 10K - Completed 01. 59:11 - 9:31 - 154 (6.2 miles) Mile Splits: 1 - 9:27 (192) 2 - 9:29 (160) 3 - 9:37 (164) 4 - 9:22 (166) 5 - 9:42 (167) 6 - 9:20 (167) .2 - 9:58 Total Miles - 6.2 miles Duration - 59 mins 11 sec Avg Pace - 9:31 Avg HR - 168 Calories - 683 Thanks for everyone who read the posts since Christmas day. The goal now is to not let all the hard work go to waste and go back to bad habits. I gave signed up to a few races to keep my motivation going: 22/3 - 7 Pools Run 10K 3/5 - Great Birmingham 10K 14/6 - Aldridge 10K 18/10 - Great Birmingham Run Half Marathon I may get a place at the Great North Run through work but I am waiting to hear about that. I plan to do a 8 week programme between now and the Birmingham 10K and then train for the half marathon in October. I'll come back and let you know how I got on in those races. Thanks again for reading. [/QUOTE]
