Thanks John/Laura. That PB has been a while coming. But the Swindon 10K is a dead flat course and I knew I had a chance. I was watching my Garmin like a hawk, making sure I was keeping a steady pace all the way round. With 1k to go I told those around me if they wanted a sub-60 it was time to move up a gear. Upped the pace a bit and kept it going right to the line – was such a good feeling to see 59-something on the Garmin as I crossed the line.
Been on the bench since 14th Dec with a left achilles problem. But it seems to be okay now (walk into town at weekend went okay) so will be heading out for an exploratory jog tonight to see how it fares.
