What Happened! 10K of Suffering

I completed a 10K race to hone the run form. I have been running well. . . So what the heck happened in this race?! Ii felt terrible. I knocked the effort level down to complete the race. The time was not really bad but I reckon I should be a minute faster. Am I judging my run ability incorrectly? I don't think so. Maybe just an off day!

Sucks that you didn't have a great time of it. I'd love to have a bad day like you and run that time 😂😂 Rest up and onto the next one. Not every race can be a good one 👌

Brilliant time after seeing Strava, but now I've seen you started off in a cow field even better.

Ha yeah it’s an odd course really. The time wasn’t horrendous. It’s more the way I felt and the training indicating a faster time. Onto the next race 😎

I can only dream of doing a time like that Mark. Don’t beat yourself up over it.

[@sagsdothedu]

Thanks buddy. We create our own pressure don’t we😧. Let’s focus on enjoying what we do as some can’t ✊

Great vid Sags. Sorry to hear it was one of those races. You’ll bounce back.

[@sagsdothedu]

Cheers buddy. I hope so!

Had not realized until seeing the video how lumpy the course is. Makes your time even more impressive.

[@sagsdothedu]

You’re kind Andy. Survival mode is not comfortable 😂

Tough run with a cracking time. Might not be what you wanted and feeling like crap never helps, but you've something to beat next time now which is half the fun. Great video pal

[@sagsdothedu]

Cheers buddy. Don’t want to feel that way regularly for sure😂. Plenty of other races to enjoy, as you say!

[@ampgb223]

Well done for getting it done feeling bad. still great time and glad to see that the day after you put it into perspective. One bad experience, doesn't make a season, just look back at what you have done so far this season, think positive and move on as I'm sure you will.

Cheers Rich. Mind games are dangerous! Got to stay positive or it’ll not be fun anymore 🤓
