Sheffield Lord Mayor's 10K race 2006
by Nick Smith 9th April 2006This was my first ever race! It started and finished at the Don Valley stadium in Sheffield, and was 3 laps of a relatively flat course along tarmac paths & roads. I was so nervous lini ng up inside the stadium - I felt like I should have been on TV!
Fortunately I was running with my mate Thea who had raced before, and we had Imogen & Marina to shout encouragement at us, which made a huge difference 
I ran the first lap very conservatively because I didn't want to set off too fast, but then blew it by going way too fast for the next 2 laps. Eventually came home in 48:26 min, which as Imogen pointed out, had to be a PB because it was my first race. grin.
Some useful training advice was given in this UKClimbing discussion.
