....safety pins!

So training has begun for the 10km I'm running in July. I know I can run 10km's comfortably but would love to ace this with a really cool PB. I am trying a new training schedule that means I do lots of intervals and hill work so I will really improve my running. I hope anyway! My only ever 10km best was a 61minute time which was really annoying as I know I could've done better if I'd prepared myself for those hill sin Greenwich park but all that is behind me now and a nice flat route with a couple friends is what lies ahead.

Last week ended with a measly mileage of 6.8miles but it all goes up from here. Starting with the Battersea Park self-Transcendence 5km tonight at 7pm. I have never ran a race in the evening or around Battersea. It will be full of fast people but I don't mind. I know I'm not as fit as I was back for the Prague race but I'm not going to let that stop me! My PB for a 5km is 28.16 and this was at the first ever race I did! Roll on the horrible weather and travel to the place and show me the medal!

P.S. I have forgotten safety pins! One thing I've learnt in the UK is that due to health and safety reasons they don't give these out. hope my friend brings some or else I'll be carrying my race number with me! :)

Week 1 of sub 1hour 10km training begins!
