1st run of
the 2014 challenge.
as always if you would like to sponsor me please press on the link on the right :-)
My first run of this challenge was a little 5k around
Liverpool docs, starting at the Nike store towards the marina and back again.
To summarize the run in two words… windy & ouch! The run was being held to raise funds for the
Linda McCartney center as part of another person’s fundraising efforts to raise
£8000 pound by organizing 8 events: - link to their page is HERE
So according to my Nike plus app I ran the run in 40:40,
with a distance measuring of 5.10k. this time includes the brief time outside
with speeches before setting off so maybe take a few minutes off the over all
time. The App record that I achieved my goal of the fastest time of
39:19 minutes, fastest mile at 12:08 mins and fastest 1k at 7:18mins. So a few good achievements had, according to
the run graph I ran at a pace between 6.05 and 8.3mins/k, which is very good
for me, good fast course helped but the running into a stong wind with lashing of rain certainly didn't!
On the down side, I thought it was a good idea to wear a new
pair of trainers, and I’m suffering now, but they were pink and orange and I thought
it would be fitting! But I got bad shin
splits around 2k and now have a sore ankle, lesson to break trainers in in the
future truly noted! however cup cakes at finihs line is well worth the pain!
Also at the run was the lovely Katie Brough a brilliant cross country runner and GB champ!
