That's amazing! I'm not good at running at the sort of pace that wold allow me to run for 2 hours/13 miles, but want to try and work on that. At te moment though can't imagine running that far!

Did what is becoming my standard 10k yesterday. I promised myself I would take it a bit easier: legs were a little tired and i had to my rehab exercises on my calves immediately before, so just planned to do the distance rather than try too hard.

Turns out I broke my PB by 43 seconds! Normally I come back off a 10k looking like I've had my own personal shower folling me: I'm so drenched in sweat. Yesterday, despite being quicker, I was only slightly sweaty, and not anywhere as out of breath as normal. So think i must have been going out too fast previously, and dying over the last mile (which is when the sweat usually pours)

Will try deliberately holding back for the first 5k again next time, as after a 45:10, a sub 45 time is suddenly becoming realistic.
