@ rhb - To be honest up until this point I haven't really been pushing myself on the longer runs - I've never even been aiming to beat my PB - Just been jogging at a comfortable pace for a reasonable distance, been pretty lax about it. I've knocked decent time off my shorter runs so I know I can run at a faster pace - Just didn't think it would be sustainable over a longer distance. Turns out it is, to an extent - Just needed a goal to aim for.
Oh and trust me, I know the grumpy, voice of painful experience well, I've been getting various advice from my uncle whose 50 and just been running in the world masters championship in Sacremento.
I still don't get this multiquote system so:
@ Dammit - 48.28. Last hill was a killer though.
