Current VDOT according to 2mile of 10k PB

10k PB

Hey guys, I just had to share with you my run tonight, as I am so happy. I started out from my house on a usual route, and went out a little faster than my normal warm up pace. I felt good, and the pace was getting a little faster, so I thought what the hell, lets go or a good 10K time. My previous 10k PR was 46:15, this was on a x country course. Today I came away with a road time of "42:32. I was well chuffed, and couldn't have worked any harder towards the end. I cant stop thinking that I should have gone out a little faster, but hey it would only have compromised my pace later on. Here are some stats you guys ma want to look at.

In an actual race I should be a little quicker I would hope, looking a the last 3.1 miles too, it works out at just over 20 minutes by a few seconds for the 5k.20:03, so I know I can break that too hopefully.

Please comments welcome.

Nab to Brinscall

Up Nab, over the top, past waterman's cottage, and over through white Coppice, through Pine Woods, and into Brincall. Through Higher Wheelton, and Home.

Forced to reduce my running time.

I never thought the day would come, but my partner is not happy with all the running that I am currently doing, so I am cutting the running down to 3 times a week. Gonna be hard, and will probably lose my gains, but will have to see how it goes. Family comes first. I will be making sure that the 3 workouts I do are quality, 1 track session, 1 long, and 1 fast 10k or so. See how it goes. I may have to get a couple in during my lunch breaks.

Great Hill to Darwen Tower

Race Speed to Distance

Tempo and Easy progress

Interesting progress since beginning:

First outing with Chorley Harriers

Last night I decided to join Chorley Harriers to go for a run. We met at the Cricket Club, and I was a little apprehensive, regarding pace of the groups etc. I initially went in the ‘plodders’ group, and was collared by a guy who said that I should be in the other group. He said that ‘I would get cold’ in that group.

We went up Brown Street, and headed up the Nab, interesting as it took me across a few new places which I wasn’t aware of. I was pretty much at the front most of the time. I enjoyed it, especially on the way back when we gave it some down the Nab and into Chorley Town.
It was great seeing all Chorley lit up from above too. Really enjoyed it and will be going there regularly.
