Ran a 10km for the club's virtual relay thing. Only been back running for four weeks, so I shouldn't be too disheartened, especially as it was my first proper effort at anything and I ran a half on Sunday. I ran a 48:28, which is where I expected to be around aiming for a 7:45/mile pace.
The main thing is that it didn't kill me, and I now feel a lot more motivated to improve on that time - which hopefully shouldn't be too hard!
Being slow is never going to feel great though, is it!
How are you finding virtual racing? I'm really enjoying it. I find that being able to 'race' when I want to is letting me run some decent times. It's also been good fun watching the races unfold on Strava and twitter.
