The Brighton 10km

Today was the Brighton 10km and given the weather on my last coastal run I have to say I was a little worried about whether today was going to be the same!

However; getting to Brighton the weather was fantastic and I had hoped I would be able to achieve a PB.

The route took us along the coast past both piers and all the way down to Hove and back. I had realised I was running pretty quickly after the first few KM and started to wonder whether I would be able to keep at such a pace.

I had a few fellow runners at the same pace so this kept me going and then achieved the below results:

Time: 36 minutes 36 seconds
Place: 102 out of around 2,700
Category position: 78

That was indeed a PB since my previous best was 37 minutes 50 seconds!

Very pleased so celebrated with an Eggnog Latte and a Toffee Nut Latte.....

Good day and a nice note from my coach:

"Aha, top run, Michael,and the 10k now more in line with the half mara and 25k PBs. Was a good day for racing today."

Plus a nice little re-tweet from a famous athlete:
