A Starlit Four Miles in just under 43 minutes

Evening running seems to be my thing at the moment and running in the dark has its charms – though one of these days I will go flying when looking up to admire the stars or a passing aeroplane flashing in the sky!

Ran this at a slow and steady pace, averaging just over 6 mins 30 per km, trying not to feel any pressure to try to run fast, but at least finding that kind of pace very easy and was hardly out of breath all the way. May try to up the pace once I can comfortably run 10k, but there’s no rush – can build base miles in over the winter and then look for speedier stuff as spring and race season approaches, then think about potential races or time trials in addition to the Great Manchester Run 2012.
