To shake off the Christmas excess I entered the Wheaton Aston 10k a few weeks ago. It is an event I did in 2012 and it didn't exactly bring happy memories at the time. After four years of doing nothing I joined a gym and assumed any fitness I had gained on an indoor treadmill could be transferred to the road - wrong! I entered the event in 2012 just to see where I was and the answer was pretty clear - I died after 2 miles and ended up running almost 41 minutes. It ended any thoughts of doing further road races and subsequently I did no further running up to March of 2015. Over the last few weeks my training had been going reasonably well and my training times suggested I was in better form than the 36.32 I ran at Tamworth in October. I've also lost a bit more weight and I'm now 10 stone 8 lbs so I'm now quite a bit lighter for some reason than I was in 2008 when I was 11st 4lb I started off a couple of rows back from the front although I pushed a bit harder this
