After a week of knee feeling fine & resisting the urge to go running in the week. I got up early enough & made my way to Poole park this morning. It wasn’t fast, although it did pick up the pace a little in the last 400metres. But I completed it. After having to stop Easter weekend, I’m very happy I got round in one piece. I went off a little fast, but if felt comfortable. It wasn’t until I checked the time for the first mile I realised it was a bit quicker than intended. I did struggle in the middle, at times it felt like I was running in treacle & then going backwards! However once in the home straight I sucked it up & pushed on to the end. I opened up a little in the last few hundred meters, but not the pace I’ve had in the past. I can’t cal it a sprint finish, hopefully that will come with time. The weather was about perfect & with the long sleeved undershirt I was a little over dressed. I hope it stays for the whole of the bank holiday weekend. Plan is to get out at least once in the week & prepare for pacing event next week I’m going to attempt to follow the 30 pacer & out sprint them in the final 100 meters. I know I’ll be with about 100 trying to do the same, so if not I can live with it. The plan post c25k was run all the park runs between finishing the course & pacing event so I would be ready to go under 30. Missing a couple of weeks has left me undercooked, but it will be my best chance for a while. ‘To fail means at least I tried. Not to try is the true failure’ #parkrun #strava #garmin #workoutsnap #lonelygoatrunningclub #rebel #runstats #pooleparkrun #poolepark #lonelygoatrunners #instarun #instarunning #run #runstagram #runner #running #newbalance #adidas #myoddballs #betruesapien #dorsetquayperformance #weightlossjourney #ukrunchat #beardedrunner #runhappy #lonelygoatrc #injurycomeback #fitover40 #rundorset #bankholidayweekend (at Poole Park Duck Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-IokfNYyi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
