Southern Mens League, Division 1, 5k (B String) - Bromley (5 Miles Total)
FOLLOWING a 2 hour drive to Bromley, leaving me a meager 40 minutes to warm up, I competed in the Southern Men's League 5k, Bromley meeting. Details below:1.5 Mile Warmup Jog (full sweats, but it was raining) in newer NB 832's, plus strides

2nd B String - 20 seconds adrift of 1st B String. Ran finish/legs off 3rd B string
No cooldown due to time constraints

I was relatively happy with the race, as I didn't take any splits and still managed to equal my personal best for the distance on the surface. I concentrated on my technique the whole race, but I was pretty much landing on the balls of feet naturally anyway, perhaps a product of the footwear. One observer (John, one of B&MH's premier MD runners) said I was 'too relaxed', and that I should bin the watch as every time I looked at it I seemed to 'ease off the gas'. I think I may run the last fixture 'sans time-piece'. My calves weren't trashed afterwards, and I felt incredibly economical during my run - I'm sure if asked I could have pulled off another 8 laps at similar pace. B&MH won the fixture, and for the record my team mate Toby Lambert won the 5k outright, thus between us we managed to pick up 9 points for the team. Show/Hide this post [+/-]
