Notes
Vitality 10000 London, massive race with thousands of runners.
Didn't have much confidence going into this. Had hoped to be in pb shape, but clearly wasn't with around 20 mpw most of the year. Figured I might break 38 on a good day, low 38 would be a decent performance.
Was in first corral right behind the elite. Fluctuation in pace in the beginning was partly due to undulating course. Hit halfway around 18:40 and was hoping for 37:30 at that point. Very pleased with the negative split and the fast last miles. Not sure how that happened, but I'll take it and hopefully it will motivate me to actually start training.
I started my watch at the gun and had 37:11. So real 5k split was probably around 18:35-18:37.
