Great work! Smashed the hour! How did it feel at the end?
First of today’s runs done, 32.2k easy and 10k easy to do this evening, was tempting to just carry on all the way this morning but have an easy marathon to do in 2 weeks so stick to the plan! Annoyingly dorney lake was shut (suspect it was COVID rule breaking driven) so had to make up a route on the spot but a trip into Windsor and back did the triack.

10 mile tt this morning absolutely all out. I i approached it like a race carbing up yesterday and making sure I stayed hydrated. Up this morning pint of electrolytes and a double espresso then morning clearout 💩 then straight into a proper 20 min race warm up sipping a red bull cola. Last visit to the toilet for insurance purposes then a couple minutes bouncing around to get myself pumped then off. I went through 10k in 37:01 knocking 13s of my 10k tt time from the start of the plan. I did put a little dig in to do that and did feel a bit rough for the next k or so but pushed on rather than backing off and it passed and i managed to lift my pace once i was inside the final 2k and finished in 59:19 so really happy with that and no niggles. The strength and conditioning is definitely helping. Based on today that puts me right on course for my first sub 1hr 20 half🤞
