Tempo running today, 10 minutes warm up then 20 minutes in zone 3 and finishing off with 5 minutes cool down walk. Was hoping to stay in the right hr zone while keeping at a constant pace but it did creep over a couple beats but overall a good day #running #temporunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity #runchat

40 minutes on the treadmill as its too wet to play outside. 15 minutes warm up pace set to 9kph (6:40 min/km) 10 minutes pace set to 11kph (5.27 min/km) my top end of zone 3 tempo then 15 minutes 8.5 kph (7:03 min/km) 6:21 km ran on treadmill, 5.72 km on my Polar watch #running #temporunning #runnersofmastodon #runchat

Last speed work before Saturday’s comeback 10k. 20 minutes warm up, 8x1 minute at race pace 5:12 min/km 🤞🤞 with 1 minute jog recovery and finishing off with a 10 minute jog home #running #intervalrunning #10ktraining #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #runningcommunity #runchat

Racing Tomorrow – Bure Valley 10 Mile

Final Grand Prix Race of 2023. Will I end on a high?

Even though it has only been 5 weeks since the Dereham 5k, it seems like months. I guess this is because all of the other 2023 Sportlink Grand Prix races were much closer together (with 3 days being the shortest gap).

So here we are. Tomorrow it’s the turn of the Bure Valley Harriers to host their Bure Valley 10 Mile Race, the 14th, and (sadly) final, Sportlink Grand Prix race of the 2023 season. (It looks like there are still a few places available if you fancy it… you can enter at Total Race Timing.)

Starting and finishing in the North Norfolk village of Banningham, my presumption is that it will be a gently undulating route around the surrounding country roads. If the weather is favourable, I suspect fast times will be the order of the day.

And speaking of the weather, the current forecast is a sunny 16° C, with a moderate breeze. So fingers crossed conditions will be near perfect.

Predictions

Below is a table of predictions from various algorithms / sources. Note that the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch do not provide 10 mile race predictions, and so I have had to derive values from their 10 km and half marathon distance predictions.

AlgorithmPace (min/km)Time (mm:ss)Difference from fastest (%)Riegel (6 min Assessment)4:3774:17– 11.3 %Riegel (3.2 km Assessment)4:2871:53– 8.4 %Athlete Data Analysis Platform4:2170:00– 5.9 %Running Watch4:1468:07– 3.2 %TrainAsONE4:0766:15– 0.5 %Riegel (5 km Race)4:0666:06–Predictions for tomorrow’s 10 mile road race from a selection of sources. Ordered by increasing velocity.

Given that my last 10 mile race was completed in 66:33 (a personal record), I would have thought that a sub 70 minute time is probable.

Consequently, as has been the case for the whole season, the assessment predictions are suggesting quite a slow (and unlikely?) time for me. And, as has been common, the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch are suggesting times somewhere between my expectation and the assessments.

Another 10 mile PB? TrainAsONE thinks so.

At 66:06, the 5 km Riegel prediction is the fastest, with TrainAsONE a close second with a time of 66:15. It is nice to see them concur. It gives faith in their values, and is especially nice as they both predict a personal record time! The game is on!

Wish me luck!

(I’ll let you know how it goes.)

🎵 I'm gonna go out
To run and let myself get...
Absolutely soaking w-e-e-e-t!🎵

Real runners do it in all weathers.

Saw more out today in storm force gales and face-ripping rain than I see any morning of the week. There's something magical about battling the elements.

9km (7km uphill, 2km downhill), 146m/480ft elevation gain, 40mph winds and rain so hard it exfoliated.

Buy, oh my giddy aunt, it was amazing!

Fit(ish) in my 50s. Managed to avoid the rain but not the stiff breeze which buffeted me north, south, east and west. Practically running on the spot uphill at maximum exertion in some places. Moderate 146m / 480ft elevation gain 10km in mild 11C / 52F. Felt colder in 30mph winds though. But as always, never disappointing and always finish with a smile … because you never know when it might be your last!

3C / 37F and an easterly breeze that could slice through granite. But if there are two things more impenetrable than granite it’s the little 28” tree trunks that hang from my torso.

Annoyingly, yet again #Garmin GPS was slow to lock on and ticked off each km 120m short. Not remotely important but just wish it was more accurate because I like data to be correct.

By the end of this week, I'm aiming to have completed 20km running in 7 days for the first time since something like 2016. It's a prettty big thing that I've been building up to. And it's great. Got any running goals at the moment? #running #runninggoals #runchat?
