The Sessay Swift 6k

Started the week by going to the club on Monday night after been ill since last Wednesday so I felt fresh as daisy. We did the warm up and some drills then we got into the session, we did some sprints down to the oak tree a back to where we started. We finished with some leg exercises. Rest on Tuesday and Wednesday only did some cycling ready for the club race at Sessay on Thursday. I got to Sessay, there was 25 T&S running and 66 people in total so I knew it was going to be a fast pace and a fast race. The race started I set off a bit too fast so I just slowed the pace to a comfortable pace that I could manage all the way around this nice flat course. I was hoping to do 30min but end up doing 33. 35 min which is still a good time only 5min behind Fran (cackleberry) which I was pleased with. So I enjoyed the race and it was worth the £6 for the 6k race I would do it again next year. So on Friday I had a rest from running because I was so stiff from Thursday, I had rest on Saturday as well just doing some cycling. I went out on Sunday teatime and did a long run now I took Wendy’s advice of doing 2hrs run or 10 miles which ever came first. So for the first 5 miles I was doing avg of 10.30 min/miles which took less than a hour so I knew that I could complete the next 5 miles within the hour even though the pace was a little slow and wanted to give up from 7.5 miles to 10 miles but managed to keep going and doing laps around Northallerton town centre I must of done about 6 laps by the time I had finished the run I was glad to be home but why was I doubting myself that I couldn’t do 10 miles training
