5k Time Trial – sort of – 26:10

Didn’t set out to do a time trial, just to run 5k comfortably hard.  Felt good so pushed just a little – my first run of the year in shorts!  Some undulations in the route I took (streets near my house, going in a few circles) but the best 5k time since my comeback, and felt good, and didn’t feel half dead by the end.

All in all a good preparation for Sunday’s Mizuno Trafford 10k.  I am conservatively going to aim for around 55 minutes, depends how I react to race conditions again, maybe I will surprise myself, but will aim to start off carefully and work up speed, rather than get carried away!!

Splits for today:

5:12
