2015 Great Eastern Run
Race Number
Eighth running of this half marathon. As usual Julie and Nicky came along to give us some support at the start and finish. Another cool and sunny day made the conditions ideal at the start although it did warm up a little as the race went on.
This was my first race since Folksworth in January; with little or no great expectations of a super time I initially set myself the target of 1:30, adjusting it last week to 1:28 - although I did look and predicted splits this morning and thought that might be a little ambitious. However, as usual I started a little fast (6:33 m/m) but decided early to back off just a little but keep the pressure on myself. My early judgment was later rewarded with a consistent run and the reasonable time of 1:27:10, enough under the 1:28 to be pleased with. Having not really trained for the distance I think I might have got away with it today - but who cares!
Legs - sore after
Right calf - picked up a slight strain on Wednesday - evident by the small bruise and lump in the muscle that I had to massage out last night. It caused no problem though.
