Doncaster 10K 26/11/2023

After completing Brigg 10K 4 weeks ago I found myself on the start line of the popular Doncaster 10k 2023 race with a field of over 2500 runners. The event organised by Curly's Athletes LTD starts & finishes at Doncaster Racecourse. There are a number of charities who benefit from the race including Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice and the Children's Air Ambulance. The main sponsor being Hoober Homes. At Brigg 10K I recorded 55.38 & so I was hoping that I could knock a few more seconds of that time here today. My main target is to run sub 50 minutes at the Cleethorpes 10K in 5 weeks time. Today was a real test to see where my fitness was to see if I can get anywhere near that 50 minute marker. I knew I was never going to get anywhere my PB on this course from 2021 when I recorded a brilliant 46.18. Last night I didn't sleep very well and my HRV was unbalanced, a marker to say I needed rest. Today was a really cold day, legs felt really cold, didn't really warmup through the run felt cold throughout. Had to stop to tie my shoe lace too. Felt yucky & no energy. I crossed the finish line in 52.42, although a little disappointed it was a 3 minute improvement on my Brigg time. I finished in overall position 1231 at Curly's Athletes Doncaster 10K 2023 out of a field of 2561 Runners. I was also in finish position 21st out of 55 Runners in the 65 to 69 Age Group. Anyway fitness is improving and I am going in the right direction
