Managed to shave my pb down to 23.27 for 5K at Parkrun yesterday. Was a real struggle though, one of those horrible runs where you feel it from the off.
Cheers, I do hate those runs where you feel rubbish from the off. Any tips on how to avoid that? Or is it just something that happens sometimes.
Well it was pretty clustered at the beginning and a woman stopped right in front of me! I know what you mean I get that nervous feeling the seconds before a race starts!
I finished 301st in the very well organised Outlaw Ironman in Nottingham yesterday. I had the 39th best marathon split in 3hrs 32mins. Feeling my age today but I will target the Mablethorpe Marathon next hoping for a time between 2hrs 50/55 mins.

PB for the Ironman distance has to be on the cards and it's cheaper to get to & enter than Ironman Florida.

Undulating with only one short sharp 12% hill. I'd thoroughly recommended it as very accessible and good value for money. It cost less than 300 quid and I ate about 50 quid worth of Jaffa cakes.
