🏃 My Running Log | 18/03 | 6.5km | Total - 289.6km in 2019! | 20 days until Norwich Half Marathon
I just finished a 6.511km run that lasted about 0hh:27mm:47ss !
Didn't really know what specific effort I was going to do when I set off for a run today. I've spent most of the day traveling back up to Norwich for a couple of weeks before my Easter break - traveling tends to take quite a lot out of me, so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do a solid run.
I decided to cut through Eaton Park, run down Bluebell Road, and then run back up Unthank Road - one of my usual routes, around 5km in length. I started off at a solid pace but as I just wanted to shake my legs out, I didn't push on too much. I felt good after a kilometre, so I figured I'd turn the run into a progressive 5km (getting quicker at each split). I ran kilometres of 4:22/km, 4:12/km, 4:08/km, 4:09/km and 4:02/km, before having a minute long breather and then heading back to my Uni house at an easy pace. I was very impressed with this effort, and I managed to set some PRs on some Strava Segments - 5th and 7th fastest this year out of 200 odd, and the top 50 out of 1000 for all time.
I have an exam on Thursday Afternoon that I need to do a LOT of preparation for, so I'm a little unsure how the rest of my week is going to go running wise. I'll probably head out tomorrow for a 10km (two laps of the same run I just did) and aim for 4:25/km or faster. Then I guess I might have to wait until Friday for my next run, but I'd like to run a Half Marathon at the pace I'm targeting on Sunday!

Nice work, dude! Good job on the PR's!
Out of curiosity -- what are you going to Uni for?
Thank you! :)
I'm currently studying Economics at the University of East Anglia. Over in the UK it's pretty much standard practice to go to Uni, and it would be tough to get a job without it. That being said, after 2 and a bit years of it, I am so done with it all and cannot wait to graduate!

Ah yeah I hear that. I've done my fair share of school and I've promised myself (and my partner) that I'm never going back! ahahaha.
Good luck with your studies!
