Always good to get up for the traditional Good Friday relays at the Newburn Riverside, Newcastle. Course slightly different this year given there was an electricity pylon on fire. Weak excuse I thought.
Ran around in 11.07, which equates to 03:11 avg. km pace and 5:07 min/mile pace, which was OK. That said the first 1k was in 03:06 (04:59 mile pace) so shame I couldn't hold that.
Something to work on this summer, particularly given miles starting with "04" are certainly not required for the marathon...
Didn't up the miles today given I've got the Victoria Park 5 miler in East London tomorrow (train straight back down tonight) and also want to be careful with the knee too.
Time to pasta up ahead of tomorrow.
