15:10.3 - new PB!
Really thrilled with this. Had a look at the field beforehand and it looked solid so I was looking forward to having company. Felt all good on the WU.
First 400 was a bit quick, went through in around 68 so not ideal but just didn’t feel that bad. Was in 4th and at the front of a chasing pack - went through 1k in 2:58. Then 2 lads came to the front and the pace felt fine but I had a sneaking suspicion we were slowing and sure enough we were.
Decided enough was enough and sacked them off at 2k, which we went through in 6:05 so yeah not a good split at all. From then on I was on my own - classic me.
Picked the pace up in the 3rd k to go through in 9:06 which was good for timing but did take its toll physically and I really had to dig deep for the last 5 laps.
Kept grinding just trying to hit 36-37secs for each 200 and knew I could keep up the suffering till the end. Went through the bell in 14:00 so can’t complain with a 70 last lap in the slightest.
Bizarrely I had kinda mixed feelings when I finished. I was obviously delighted with a PB but also slightly annoyed I’d allowed those guys to slow me like that but I guess you live and learn eh. These mixed feelings faded pretty imminently though to just being gassed with it.
So overall a great day, glad I made the trip and nice to see a progression. That’s the last thing of note I’ll do before the selection races so good to make a solid fist of it. Happy days.

2 laps (3~), 10x400(1min), 2 laps
Absolute chaos on the first lap with everyone apart from me going the wrong way - felt like Boasson hagen at that roundabout in the tour a few years ago when he absolutely merked the rest of the break.
Anyway, 400s were much calmer - hit pretty consistent times (66-68) and was working hard, just sticking in behind various different people.
2 lap tempo at the end was not looking like it was gonna be fun but luckily norman (2:17 marathon guy) was doing it so just unashamedly sat behind him and let him dictate the pace. Great success.
