So today saw me take on my next challenge, a 10k run. This was the Littlehampton 10k running for the Chestnut Tree House charity, a very worthwhile cause and a relatively local course for me.
I didn't put any specific training for it beyond my normal runs but completed another Parkrun at Hove Park last Saturday and pushed it fairly hard. The result of that was a very respectable PB for me of 24:22, 43 seconds better than my last time of 25:04.
For the 10k, I went off relatively quickly after the inevitable shuffle to the line. I would have been quite happy with any time under an hour for my first 10k but completed in an official time of 52:29
Final goal for the year is completing the Under Armour You v The Year Challenge of 1017km. I am currently at 829km so expect to do that by early November. Brighton 10k, or even Brighton Half Marathon in 2018?
