Haha!
Right, quick report....
D1 and I went out tonight with a target of 5miles, and we only bloody did it!
That's easily a personal best in distance for me, and I think D1 said the same too.
It was absolutely amazing when we reached that last lap, a proper rush, I'm still buzzing now, the final bursts of pace, the encouragement to each other over the last stretch to just push it that little bit harder, absolutely class, nothing like it.
Only slight gripe was a stiff calf for the first few laps (of 10) which eased up with a little uphill sprint and a slight knee knack for both of us, although I think that's to be expected given I'm a fatlad and it's the first time either of us have pushed that far.
Highlights? A group of little scallies clapping and cheering us on, finishing(!), excellent pacing and speed, a massive improvement in lungs from last time, and I think we both excelled what we expected, and some excellent Brian Potter and Mark Lawrenson impressions (bloody dark!)
I feel like I got a benchmark now, five miles, 8k, I've got good distance which I can concentrate on improving on, I know I'm some way from doing it without a break, but shit, it felt good to just complete it, and still running on the last lap too.
Bigups to y'all for the helps, and D1 for setting the benchmark so high and being quite so motivational 3 laps in!
Bloody superb achievement, buzzing man.
