Well, that was not the race I was looking for. Look at those splits dropping (the descent into pain!).
I’d like to blame it all on the heat and humidity, it was very difficult. Race director was worried. Heck, even the 1:50 pacer collapsed. But, upon reflection on the car ride home, I wasn’t prepared. I’ve had some good races lately and I was resting on my laurels.
OK, time to move on. It’s over. Another one in the books!
It’s getting pretty hot out there by UK standards! I really rocked 15km / over 10 miles this morning. Heading for shade now!!
The feeling good part is the most important bit… although I do love the stats!! 
Another hot day in the UK. Up early and out with the dog for 2.5 hours, then straight out for a 5 mile run. Hiding from the sun watching the Olympics after watering the plants now. Mission(s) accomplished!
Got about 10 miles in total yesterday between 2 runs, and a couple walks. It’s super hot, so time didn’t matter. Here’s a view of the Missouri river at the end of the day…
Also I’m starving 
@Gorden I have finally figured out what the top
part of Strava is above the splits. It’s the workout inside the run. Those long lines were the 20 second stride intervals and 45 second recovery
That part I knew since I used to exclusively do the Run/Walk method. However, I’m fairly clueless in general on Strava/Garmin. You should have seen me trying to pair my watch with my new phone… good heavens, what a gong show, lol. So, keep the tidbits coming please!
I’m one week into the couch potato to 5k challenge!
Great Job!! 
Keep it going
Awesome run from yesterday
I don’t personally but I have tried them. They make me way too jazzy and very itchy. I really think it’s a personal preference
Awesome picture! Thanks for sharing.
I just finished a 12 mile run yesterday. Literally my last stride, when I caught my right foot, stumbled and strained my knee. Painful front and back and clicking too. Seeing a physio tomorrow. I’m already worried that the Chester marathon in October might not happen. But let’s see what they say.
No bruising or unusual bumps and it’s very painful, but not agony!
The lesson from this is two hours in I didn’t listen to my body. I was tired and dehydrated. I didn’t carry enough water or energy snacks. My heavy legs made tripping more likely.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Managed seven miles yesterday, which is a lot for me. I’m hoping to get in shape for some races next year. Running sure does help with mental health!
@Brian1965uk sorry to hear about your injury! Hope it’s minor with a quick recovery.
