Bit of a delayed write up on this one. Got distracted trying to put tables in on the other posts and Emi has been up here for the weekend, so the write up got put to one side!
Was pretty happy with this run, managed to keep up a good steady pace for the first 5km. It started to go a bit south from there, but not by much. A 7 min/mile pace is still far faster than I have been used to running over a longer distance previously and so I think it is a step in the right direction.
Am continuing to try and make sure that I always run, regardless of how slow it is, rather than walking when I am training and doing a rest period. What benefit this will give me in the long run is to be seen, but it seemed to be a very common tip in the running crazy book, and the guys involved seem to know what theyre on about!
On a side note, will hopefully manage to get my hands on a copy of this:

and so will be able to pass on any tips it might have :)
Hope you're all having a good weekend!
