I don't feel like I'm running fast, but I'm not really bothered about that either, it's just good to be outside!
Went up a 4th time yesterday, mildly hungover but a somewhat more consistent pace made things feel a little easier. Still just as sweaty by the time I hit the top. Clearer this time, caught a glimpse of the snow covered peaks on the south island and some stunning views along the ridge, hopefully before we catch the ferry south I'm up to running the length of it and back.

Well done, beats my Battersea Park SB of 16:56! I guess sub-16 will be another one of my targets again this year, and it's coming back, but I'm staying relaxed about running times whilst still mixing it up with the cycling.
@andy_k - I don't think I'd give two hoots about pace running round there. Stunning!
I celebrated my new V45 status on Sunday with a low-key 10k, the Two Castles Run (Warwick Castle to Kenilworth Castle, nice.) 2nd V45 and 14th overall (/3,400-odd), a good three minutes down on pb but it was a bit hilly, and more importantly it really does now feel like the achilles injury is behind me. I felt confident enough about this last week to enter the North Downs Run (30k) in a couple of weeks, which I'm just gonna treat as a very scenic, hard training run.

@aggi great effort, that is a lot of climbing.
@andy_k there is a lot to be said for not worrying about time/distance for a while and enjoying being out and feeling like you are running fast without constantly checking your watch.
I did the Sri Chinmoy 5k in Battersea Park last night. Tried to do it without looking at my watch too much and just racing the people around me. Think I managed to run 16:38, which is faster than last week but still a way off my sub 16 target for the summer. I'm going to have to up the training a bit from 30 miles a week and one session to hit that.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
