The Bearbrook 10K


This was the second year I ran the Bearbrook 10K that starts and finishes at the rugby club in Weston Turville. Whereas last year it was quite sunny, this Sunday was cloudy, almost perfect conditions for the race.

Something strange happened. Somehow my training over the last couple of weeks had gone really well but I did not expect to beat last year's time by over a minute. Fifty four minutes and six seconds chip time is a faster pace than many of the 5K parkruns over the last couple of months and my best time ever for a 10K.  And it has hills! I have no idea where that came from.

Thanks to my friend Philip who lives on Worlds End Lane for taking the photo above outside his house, and Alison for hers as we past Bates Lane.
