As you can see right up until 30K I was well placed to run what I was expecting (9 minute miles, pretty much throughout) but for a host of reasons I won’t bore you with it wasn’t to be. However, quite frankly, as the Zapatek quote I posted on Saturday implied, I think I gained more from gritting it out than I would have done from a terribly quick time. Yet I wouldn’t expect to see me doing anything more painful than a walk from chair to bar for a little while yet.
