Run, Forrest, Run!
Another day another training jaunt in anticpation of the Manchester 10k.
Todays result was 3.6 miles (as far as I can work out after the fact with Google maps) or 5.79 km in 33 minutes. Legs were painful towards the end but five minutes after stopping I felt like I could go and do it again, which is likely my body lying to me but it's all looking good.
I attribute todays improvement to a better selection of tracks on the MP3 player. AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' provides a nice even paced beginning, Saxon's 'Heavy Metal Thunder' picks me up nicely around the middle and Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' (what else?) provides a nice strong finish. Possibly running up a fuckload of steps while talking like a punch-drunk gibbon.
Or perhaps not.
