Cycling (Boris bike) 30:00 [1]
Blackwall to Mile End Stadium. Served as warm up and down as I was late
Running race (Mile End Parkrun) 19:25 [5] 5.0 km (3:53 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 4
First park run in ages (14 months!!!) and I felt it. This is actually a new PB (by 2 seconds) but I still feel it should be faster. Made three silly mistakes.
A) was a little late, so didn't get to warm up/ stretch except the cycling there. Literally just went
B) I set off a little to fast. Plan was to go quick then hold 3:50 flat, but my legs were just too sore to do that over the hills
C) I got up at 7 quickly to eat something, but probably too much as I felt it in the latter half of the course
Plenty to work on still, particularly getting my body used to the tempo/ pain of racing at that pace... More longer intervals, tempo runs, and some races required
Splits were 3:42, 3:50, 3:57, 4:01, 3:52
