Race Day preview - Bryn Bach 6 mile / Lap the lake Fun Run

I've been quiet, mainly as I've been busy but like the bad smell which flows from me, I haven't gone away!

More posts to come on the small subject of Merthyr parkrun (note the correct capitalisation), which launched this very day (assuming I finish this post in the next 15 minutes) with a pleasing degree of success.

But back to me putting one foot infront of the other. Tomorrow I visit Tredegar to take part in the Bryn Bach 6 mile race, also running the fun run with the oldest. I've let the training slip big style, so I'm not expecting much tomorrow, but it'll be nice to get a few miles in.

Bryn Bach Park is pretty flat, but I'm not overly familiar beyond the parkrun course, so we'll see.

So... targets:

Baseline:0:52:00 (8:40 min/ml)


Achievable:0:50:00 (8:20 min/ml)


Would be nice, but maybe beyond me this time:

0:47:00 (7:50ish min/ml) 

This is also my first race out of club kit... Oooooh choices.

I'm not bothered about time, so the targets are loose, but it's good to have a plan after all. Be nice to get a few miles in and see if I all apart, the motivation is there but bus busy of late.

Llanelli marathon, is down as a maybe, I've not trained anywhere near enough, so may go for a trot round and get the tshirt etc anyway. Paid now after all!
