Event: Pancake Run
 

Run to start of pancake run with a little extra loop to catch up with Terry who was setting out on a long run.

Pancake Run 15k at marathon pace. Aiming for 4:10/km which is the pace I want to try to run for the flat first half of the marathon in 2 weeks. Pace felt pretty comfortable but I could feel my calves starting to tighten up within the first 5km which is a bit of a concern. I think I could probably manage 2 hours at that pace, not so sure about 3.
Oscar won the 15k by a big margin in about 51:30 despite losing a bit of time when directed the wrong way. He said he went through 10k in 33 minutes and he looked very comfortable when I saw him at about 11k.
Henry did the 5k and I think I ruined any chance of a good time for him by suggesting starting a few rows back to reduce the temptation to start too fast. They changed the course a bit and the path narrowed dramatically after a short distance so we got stuck at the bottleneck and had to walk for a while which left Henry a lot further back in the field than I had in mind. Not sure what time he ran in the end as he had a timing malfunction.

Dicky heart.

Easy run in KP. Still not 100% healthy but felt pretty good running.

Feeling a little sick the last couple of days so starting the taper early.
First weigh in for a long time, not as bad as I feared.

Easy run in KP. Regretted attempting more than my usual 30 minutes, felt longer than it was.
