Enjoying the Strava club setup... Who's Dave Rushton ?, you are averaging 1 second / km slower than me this week, you best pick up the pace matey
Whilst preparing for being slow next Sunday i've been checking time results for previous 10k's.
Looks like if i do 1:05 then there'll still be people behind me so at least i won't be alone!
1 thing I do need to buy is winter gear, I am heading Aldi is normally quite good, any where else I should consider?

If you check my Strava the run I’ve done tonight is the one I was talking about. Ignore the trail bits to/from my house but that loop is the circuit and it’s 2 laps.
You should be able to see the elevation etc. It probably runs from about 1.5 miles to the 5 mile point.
Felt pretty happy with the run. I got shin splints again after the first mile and the route was exactly the same as Monday. I stopped after the mile and did a few stretches. It was too thT for a bit but then loosened up.
From around 3.5 miles to the 5th I felt like I got a great rhythm going and felt good which is good given Its a long time since I did this distance.
Still felt alright stamina wise at the end but it was getting to a fairly steep hill for a mile after to my house and was getting some pain above my left knee (patella?) so decided to call it a day and walk the rest.
Long distance running out of the window for me for a bit for me.. I'm all booked in for PCL stabilisation in January - 6 weeks off work too..
Going to be a tough time not being able to go to the gym or running at all for 4-6 months..

Did another 6 miles yesterday. That's 4.8, 5.5 and 6 done this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday). Having done those i feel pretty confident for the 10k as could've definitely kept going yesterday.
It highlighted i could do with a head torch though if i'm going off road as i took this around the first mile mark and it got a lot darker. Whilst there was a path it was very uneven and i stumbled a few times.
I also feel i need a disclaimer that whilst it may look it in my Strava pic i'm not actually a sex offender!
