Glasgow Parkrun #180 - 30/6/12

Time today was 18mins 56secs. Lost a lot of time on the fourth kilometre e.g. 4mins. The course was measured as exactly 5km on my Garmin and my race pace was the fastest it has been on this course for a while, so reasonably happy.

Men's Health Forum Scotland 10K - 17/6/12

Chip time today was 37mins 47secs. That is one second faster than last year's race and today I had to stop twice. The first stop was at the 4K mark in Pollock Park to tie my shoe lace and then again at the end when I crossed the mat and assumed it was the finish line, when in fact I had about another 70m still to run. I felt comfortable throughout today, but my hamstring tweaked at the 7K mark and is still a bit raw.

Polaroid Vale of Leven 10K - 10/6/12

Glasgow Parkrun #176 - 2/6/12

Time today was 18mins 49secs in position 18. Felt reasonably comfortable after Thursday evenings exertions.

Polaroid Dumbarton 10K - 31/5/12

My chip time tonight was 37mins 57secs. 5K split was 18mins 37secs so I lost about 45secs in the second half of the race. Lactic acid kicked in about the 6K mark, but I ploughed on and even managed to pick the pace up to 3.43mins for the final kilometre. Hopefully I can 'kick on from here' and get a bit fitter for future races.
