Myself and my athlete Steve Dickens travelled to Bedford at the weekend to take part in the ATW 10k and Half Marathon running events. We were lucky enough to enjoy perfect running weather and a fun course that navigated running next to the canal and through woodlands and parks on tarmac and compacted trail surfaces. For Steve taking park in the 10k it was a very successful day for him – a 10k PB in 50mins and 16sec and 1st in his age group! As his coach I have to say I was so pleased for him and quite possibly more excited than if I had achieved a PB myself! Congratulations Steve!
For myself it was an extra lap to continue on to complete the half marathon which I did in 1hr 45mins and 20secs, ever so slightly outside of my target time of 1hr 45min but certainly nothing to be disappointed about and definitely some inspiration to try and improve on this next time….
