🏃 My Running Log | 19/03 | 10.5km | Total - 300.2km in 2019! | 19 days until Norwich Half Marathon!

I just finished a 10.785km run that lasted about 0hh:46mm:52ss !

As I promised myself yesterday, today's run was a fast 10km - two loops of yesterday's run as fast as I could. Having traveled quite a distance yesterday, I could definitely feel myself not being at 100% on this run (even if I felt good yesterday), and the latter stages were incredibly tough. I again ran a 10k PB - I suppose it's less impressive, as I've never really done tempo efforts of more than 7km before - with an estimated time of 43:06. I have a goal for 2019 to run a sub-42 minute 10km, and my progression towards that goal is going really well (obviously my main goals are my Half Marathon and Marathon events in 3 weeks and 7 weeks).

I decided that I'd get up a little earlier than usual to get this effort out of the way, so I have some time to head to the library and smash out a few hours of revision before having lunch, but the timing wasn't especially good. Lots of school kids, and as I ran past about 3 or 4 schools, there was a lot of people dodging. I don't have great foot stability anyway, but I think all the meandering I did and stopping-and-starting caused quite a bit of rubbing on the inside of my big toe on my left foot, and I've been treated to a nice little blood blister. Hopefully it'll dry out in the next week or so and I can just pull it off, but it wasn't a nice sight when I took my socks off!

Carrying on from some nice Strava Segment PRs from yesterday, I'm now in the top 10 of two more segments this year - a shorter 100m segment in Eaton Park, and a 1 mile segment that starts on Unthank Road and finishes on South Park Avenue.
