I did my first race post 10,000m night and felt good. I took it out hard running a quick first km (2:57) and then also a good second km. But lost focus in the middle km but managed to pick it up for the run home. Time 15:32 and pleased with that for the win running solo.

A good outdoor threshold run on Saturday also. I feel like I’m in decent nick. Just need to run some strong races now.
