More results! (running)

I did my first 5k in two years tonight and managed about 19"10.

It was a charity run in Battersea Park and we had quite a few people from work taking part. Including Harley the guy who did the 145 miles marathon two weeks ago (still with a dodgy knee since) and Jerym who did the Stockholm marathon the past weekend.

Those two still managed around 18"25 and we got the first place for "property developpers" team of 4 . Kim (who works in a gym) got first womens in just under 22" I think so two big magnums of Champagne in the bag.

Surprisingly my legs were Ok but I was having trouble adjusting my breathing to the pace and my heart seemed to be overworking - maybe because it's used to the supported sport of cycling. Great feeling afterwards though.

If you fancy a regular training run check this out. It's a free 5k TT run in Banstead woods every Saturday at 9am. Free to enter and they keep a record of your time on there website. They already host these events in Bushey Park and Wimbledon Common. The idea is to eventually have one in every city. You should still be able to make the CS CR if you don't faff about at the finish, would make an excellent brick session...

I need to get back into running once a week - I can hardly walk today!
