I just ran my fastest 5k today! 23minutes and 3seconds! Still in shock really and have no idea how I managed to achieve that time!
Its a whole minute and 20seconds faster then my previous 5k pb!
To just give some back ground to my ramblings, I just ran the Maidenhead 5k Series which was is a club championship and also part of the 5k summer series!
At today's I brought along my best friend, trainer and run buddy Andrea! It was really funny seeing her being nervous and not me. It meant a lot to me she was there and I'm so proud of her! She ran her PB just over 20minutes her first 5k race outside!
We both warmed up around the track ( by Braywick gym) we then wondered and got ready for the start! It was all exciting, but also the nerves were kicking in!
My nerves were to do with my poor performance on Sat when I ran the Black park parkrun! Also because looking around I couldn't see the Dashers which were a similar pace! My tactic is usually to chase!
The run started and off we went, It felt fine until 2k when I was tiring, but when I looked at my watch I was pleasantly surprised at my pace. I tried to push through , however at one point I do remember slowing! I did think it would never finish, even when I could see the finish! But as we ran around the last bend, and I heard a few cheers for the Dasher (me) a few from @jonhinio then Andrea I couldn't help but to push through and sprint to the end! I don't even remember what was around me, I just wanted to catch up with Andrea and see how she did! :)
My Splits were
Mile 1 7.12
Mile 2 7.44
Mile 3 7.54
Great results! Lovely cake! Happy me! Looking forward to Sunday and the Relay of which I'm running the 2.75mile leg!!!
