shoe laces coming undone (from a double knot
I was shown a knot variation by @_leon which has worked well, I can't put it in words, think it's closest to the one described here:

Ugh! Shit run compounded by my first ever schoolboy error of shoe laces coming undone (from a double knot, the slippery bastards) just after 6 miles. I'd been ticking along nicely at about 5:30/m up till then, but just couldn't get back into a rhythm when starting back up, and lack of recent miles due to injury showed up severely for miles 9-13 as the splits went out the wrong side of 6m/m. 1:16:23, nearly five minutes outside PB, and can probably only put a minute of that down to conditions, with another half a minute for the laces. Oh well, good training run, and a useful reccy of the course, which I think could be good for a PB attempt on a nicer day, in better condition.
