Bury 20 mile Run

Well it is now the end of Week 5. Things have been going smoothly, today was the test for my knees to hold up for some serious mileage in running. I took part in the Bury St Edmunds 20 mile run http://www.raceres.org.uk/mdhome%201.htm.

Finished in 2:23:05 hr 41st / 351 finishers

Very happy with the result and was able to keep an eye on my HR, adjusting pace and effort. Used a new Fuel Belt which had gels held in little bottles, good easy concept and easy to use.

Knees have held out but a bit sore after that. My next event is Bungay 1/2 marathon 19th April then Suffolk 100m bike ride 10th May. I am looking at doing a 1/2 Ironman (70.3) on 17th May but not sure if I can get cover for work .

Reedham 10mile run

1st February was the Reedham 10m run, cold conditions but the sunny and clear skies. Very happy with my results as I kept a steady pace and also steady heart rate. Finished in 1:09:54 (33rd out of 226)
