The perfect run

2011/06/03 at 10:29AM by Steve

Went out for a steady run last night in the Forest of Dean, and had one of those runs where I just felt fantastic! Only ran for 35 minutes as I'm racing on Saturday, but it was one of those rare runs which happens once every few months where it feels effortless. I was ticking along at 6 minute miling up and down a few reasonable hills and just felt as if I was floating! Roll on Saturday......

Ran at the UK Inter-Counties 3km steeplechase in Bedford last Sunday, my first big race since the knee injury. I knew I wasn't as fit as I would like to be (who is?!) but was pleased to sneak a bronze medal. Tried to stick with the leaders but struggled over the final two laps through lack of fitness and lost out on silver on the final lap. Still pleased to come away with a medal off only 7 weeks training.
