Evening Recovery Run

Very easy paced run via Rede Court Road, Brompton Farm Road, footpaths to Cooling Road and back via Brompton Farm Road and Rede Court Road.

SCVAC, division 1, Match 1, M50 3,000m
Went out fairly hard and tried to hang on to the M50 race leaders, didn't really manage it.
Lap splits of 42, 83, 86, 86, 86, 87, 87 and 84 for the final lap.
Happy enough with 10:40ish but lots of work to do just to get back to last summer's times.

Three laps around Peter's Village and the Riverside path, hamstring felt okay (after Steve's treatment) but I wasn't pushing particularly hard.
