Over the last 2 years and after a lot of dedication and hard work, I managed to convert my 3k pace into my 10k pace. Last night represented a far more spectacular turn of events as, within the space of just 2.5 months, I've suceeded in totally reversing the process.
This depressing achievement has made me realise that I should not be attempting races at the moment, even if it might benefit the team. I had resolved not to do this event, but allowed myself to be persuaded. I should have resisted because physically, but more particularly psychologically, I needed last night’s performance like a hole in the head.
Much overdue long summer holiday prescribed for Mr Statto. Enjoy & don't even think about running/races/heart rates/vo2 max/yada yada yada!
