Hi gang - I'm so busy at the minute and no internet at home so struggling with the forums.
Anyway - I snuck in a trendy 5 mile race last night (my first race of 2013! ). Really enjoyed it and managed 7:15 pace - 36:20 by the garmin. Quite a way off my best pace but still a PB as this was my first ever 5 miler Manged a decent sprint finish with the last mile being the quickest (7:00 pace) and the last 400m at 6:15 pace. Overtook loads in the 2nd half. But..... - I was beaten by my GF
Still no internet at home and struggling to keep up
Minni - no - I got a 2nd hand bike. My work won't do cycle to work scheme. I had a big argument about it with the company accountant. He said he's done it in other companies and it's a nightmare for the accounts dept. He also said people leave the company half way through paying for the bike etc.....
Carter - yep - go for number 2. You could build in some light speedwork. Just not eyeballs out. Just chuck in the odd 5 minutes in the HMP-MP range. That shouldn't aggravate things too much.
