Run Cheshire Virtual 10k

Race: Run Cheshire Virtual 10k (Blue Bridge-Saltney Ferry-Blue Bridge)
Time/Position: 36.52
My third virtual outing as a V50. It’s really not much fun, but I felt this might be useful to force myself to do a speed session in the hope that a few proper races start soon. I left very early from the blue bridge at Queensferry and ran along the pan-flat cycle path towards Saltney Ferry. This is always psychologically demanding – indeed, I used to use it in marathon training for that reason. I turned at the Ferry bridge (after 5.2k) and headed back. A very slight tailwind helped me maintain a consistent albeit unspectacular pace.
