Oh well, I finally got round to checking the official results, and my final time was 41:55, so I lost 2 seconds somewhere. Careless ;-)

( Cut for split times and other geekery )

You are too fast.

Well, there were 191 people in front of me...!

The winner came in in 28:30. That's 1710 seconds, or 2:51 per km, or 4:35 per mile, or... I'm struggling to think of a distance for which I could maintain that pace. Maybe 400 metres, on a good day. Now that's too fast ;-)

Do you still run occasionally, or is it all too busy?

ant_girl September 7 2009, 23:12:23 UTC

Haha, maintain that pace? I might be able to reach it over about 100m...

I am trying to get to run once a week, which is not enough, and I don't actually manage it that often.

I wasn't doing much better than that to tell you the truth, hence being nearly 10% off my PB...

Keep at it, though, and maybe try to find a club? There must be a couple in Leeds...

Your splits are epic fail :(

Interval training for you! I can stand with a stopwatch and beast you if you want. I feel I deserve to wreak some rewenge for those bloody hills!

salmon_of_doubt September 8 2009, 21:35:46 UTC

Splits? I can't even touch my toes...

Anyway, isn't interval training supposed to make you better able to vary your pace? What I probably need is someone to pace me... someone who doesn't mind riding a bike at say 10mph for 30, 40 minutes at a time...

Know anybody?

;-)

Instead of all that hard work you could change your sport, if you did hill walking like me you only need to do 1km evry 18 minutes.

Re: OR...... salmon_of_doubt September 11 2009, 22:42:36 UTC

3.3km/h? You big girl ;-)
