The 2008 'Diet Coke 10K Fun Run' - East Kilbride

Time 40mins 39secs.
This race came probably too soon after my two marathons. This 10K was only 4 weeks after my last marathon. The conditions were okay, possibly a bit windy in parts. The distance was in fact 10.2Km. My splits were around 3.57 per km, but the last km took me 4.50 or so. It was a 'Fun Run' and so no complaints about the course measurement. Four others in my club (Hamilton Harriers) also measured the course as 10.2km. They were all wearing GPS enabled watches. My average heart rate was 168 bpm, which is really my half marathon heart rate. Normally my 10K heart rate average is above 173bpm. I just couldn't sustain that today; nothing left in the legs.
