See my August 21st 2008 entry? I did a similar run yesterday, totaling the same.
Since August, I've been attending some track trainings, but never done long solo runs. Twice a 2x3km to a mate where I'd have a long break, otherwise nothing.
Out, around the island, and back the same route. 10.2km in 50min06s.
I ran both as slow as I can bear, and as fast as I can breath. All landing on the heels, at times focussing to be smooth, which seemed to only cost more energy.
I stopped only for a few traffic lights, and to quickly stretch atop the second bridge.
Usually when I run 10k's (I never did more), I get in trouble on the way home. Only along the water after the island I was strugling (some fat guy overtaking and leaving me), but after the island look I got in a nice rythm, actually aerobically comfortable. I could have run a couple k's longer at that pace, although my left thigh was complaining a bit.
Today: oddly, no soreness. I took it easy though.
Glad I managed a "non-stop" 10km again, and losing only 5min over my ancient PB, without trying to go fast for a second.
On another note : I may have found a couck. Residing across an ocean, but he seems to know his stuff. Hope to confirm a deal soon. I still really want to get in shape, and I need someone to make my schedules to reach that.
There will be lots of (b)logging if I do half the hours I'm hoping for, and reporting on only half of that :-)
Keep believing,

My name is Jan Gerrit Klok, call me J. I also go by Cloxxki. This blog will mark my progress as I start from zero. A desperately out-of-shape cyclist aiming to become fitter than ever, but in a sport hardly existing my his home country. My country gets on average one or 2 XC-skiable days per winter. Although that's improving quickly. Goal: someday race XC, and not off the back of the field. And new goal: deliver a good Winter Triathlon (coach wanted).
