Run to the Beat 2015

This so called 'music 10K,' wasn't really that loud all the way around. I enjoyed the run but if you were there for the beats you would have been disappointed. There was a stage for the after party but it didn't look that busy when I went past. Full price was £40 and I'm glad I didn't pay that. I guess all of the promo material costs had to be covered.

I was using this race a relaxed lead up event to Berlin. With only two weeks to go I wanted to take this easy. I decided to run with my friend Theresa starting in the final race wave, 10:35. We were going at a slower pace than I was used to, but a faster pace than Theresa was accustomed to. It was nice however to run together and enjoy each others' company.

For the last 2k I planned to take it at a faster pace on my own. There was music as soon as I started running which led me into a sprint. I recklessly forced my heartrate up in a manner which wasn't too clever for my race ability. Spectators on the side even commented! 3:30 min/km! After a minute of that I had to ease off. However not too much as I was too embarrassed to let any of those people I just shot passed overtake! I continued the rest of the race at 4:40 min/km which was still a lot faster than my usual 5:40 min/km.

The final straight was a lovely decline where I crossed at 59:10. Not my fastest, but the last ten minutes was the most fierce I've ever been in a race!
