ahr:178 max:163 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
First run in a while - combination of poor excuses stopping me for last few weeks.
Convinced Emma to come walk with will on a few of the cotnrols whilst I ran the whole course. Made me commit a bit harder so she wouldnt be waiting.
Found the right hammy/glute issue instantly there in first 100m and just eased back to 545/6 min/km which didnt aggravate it. Only problem is I am unfit so as soon as I started walking which wasnt far in it was all downhill and 6mins quickly slipped out to 630.
Course wasnt difficult pretty flat with a few hills. Sadly Emma got carried away and followed the control numbers rather than the course I told her too so when I saw her I thought she was lost and changed my course slightly to check on her. what it meant though is I knew I would beat her back and then had less incentive to not walk. So was even slacker. Poor excuses I know!
Need to get some running mojo back.
Nice area for it though. want to do it again faster next time!
