Running

Good work...I quite like reading. Finish in the stadium is spot on. My fourth year this year. Missed my target by two mins but was still a pb so was pretty pleased. Not too keen on the dual carriageway from miles 10-12... Seems to go on forever!

Cheers :) What time did you do? I absolutely love miles 10-13 as I take it relatively easily until that point, at which point I crank up the music, neck some lucazade and really pick up the pace right till the end. That road down to green park always seems so much longer than you imagine it to be though! I find the hardest part between 8 and 10 miles.

Run number one last night..ouch would like to build up to be able to do a 5k no stopping, like señor Blackfoot im starting with the running walking running walking running, experiment tonight as to weather music is better for me or not.

I find running with really chilled out music (lots of zero 7) helps me as it keeps me calm and seems to keep my heart rate down. Listening to fast music can make my pace erratic and tire me out quickly. On the flip side, I find it really useful to have some fast music as a 'trick up my sleeve' for long runs to give me a boost.
