Got this Regent's Park 10k coming up on Sunday, figured out it would be a good idea to try and do the distance beforehand considering the last time I ran much more than 5k was back in June. Best 5k time is 22:30 (and improvements on that have trailed off) so I was pretty pleased that I managed the 10 in 47:20.
So I'm feeling pretty confident for the weekend, with the only downer being I managed to develop a blister on the sole of my right foot. Fortunately it hasn't burst (and I avoided the obvious temptation to pop it) so hopefully it'll have healed up by the weekend but I'm annoyed I'll have to skip any more last minute training.
I bought some blister plasters, but is there any point using them if it doesn't burst and isn't sore? Also got vaseline, which I'll use on Sunday in the hope that it reduces the friction what's caused it.
Incidentally, has anyone done one of the Regent's Park 10s before? My main concern is bike parking, not being sure of what locking facilities there are at the hub, or how many people will show up. Any help with that or other advice would be much appreciated.
