Yes! A new personal best at 10k. I started way back (section H) so I had to overtake a lot of people. It was warm and windy but luckily I could keep up a pace of around 5' /km. And the final 2 k it's all or nothing . Lots of people along the course, shouting encouraging stuff. With my name on the bib it's easy 'come on Johan!...you can do it !...nearly there!...
And afterwards celebrating with colleagues .

Final run before the #ijsselloop . Just sniffed a little bit at race speed, otherwise easy run. My trainer thinks I should be able to run 10k in 50 minutes, so that's the goal for this weekend.

First it was threshold training every week and now it's VO2max . No rest for the poor....
9 times 2 minutes at 4:20 /km.
But I was home before dark .
Less than 2 weeks till #ijsselloop

In honor of the real Legends (like @teufen ) who are running the Legends Trail this weekend in Belgium I set out today to become a Local Legend again in my own neighborhood (at least on Strava). This resulted in a mixture of road, trail, dirt road and grassland and 2 Laurels in reward .
The other goal this morning was going 1 k further than last week. So I did 13k.
