Had that small coffee. PB of 56.21 lol. Fuck me, that's almost 4mins faster than my previous PB. I also got a 5k PB of 27.58 during it?! Coffee for the win!

Well done mate, honestly you can easily run 10k or even further on an empty stomach if you've eaten correctly the day before.

After being on furlough I am now working at home for the past few weeks. New routine is a 5k run most mornings at 6 am before breakfast. I just have water and then shoot off. It's been most enjoyable so far. It makes the isolation on the laptop in the dining room a bit more tolerable.....well at least for the first hour or so until the endorphins fade away....

Obviously weren't trying hard enough before if you knocked 4 mins off :)

Beetroot juice and sodium phosphate are two other natural boosts that I tried in the distant past, with unproven results. Probably best saved for longer more important races.
After that you could try blood doping. Popular in the tour de france for a few years....

Did a 5-mile run today at an avg HR of 132 and a slightly faster pace of 9:25. Felt like there was more in the tank to stay within HR Max. Feels like the training is starting to kick in at last.

1 more run today/tomorrow (decide how my legs and abdomen are later to decide the day) for the GMR August to Sept Challenge.
Moved home last week so yesterday had a run in my new area.
Got lost and found myself in Bramhall haha

11k this morning.
That's the furthest I've ever run.
Very chuffed with myself :)

Just thought I’d try a 10km and see if I could get under 48 mins. Just managed it at 47 mins 56 secs so quite chuffed. I thought I was easy smashing it until I remembered 10km is 6.22 miles and not just 6. I was gauging it at under 8 mins per mile. Luckily the first 2 miles was around 7 mins 20 to give myself some breathing space.
Look forward to the slower runs again
