\"BUPA<\/a>
\nWas it just a co-incidence that the Simon Pegg film, “Run Fatboy Run<\/a>” was shown on British TV this weekend? I think not! (great film by the way).<\/p>\n

For those who’ve missed my last “Fit At 40” update<\/a> – yesterday was the Bupa London 10,000 – and I lined up with several thousand other competitors (including my friend Eileen Brown<\/a>) to run the course from St James’ Park to the City and back.\u00a0 This was my first 10K and I’d been training with 5 mile (8km) runs at around 01:06:00, so I was hoping to come in at around 01:20:00 but, to be honest, a finish was what I was really after!<\/p>\n

Not only was this my first 10K, but it was my first big race too – and, with the race starting in nine groups (with me in the ninth), the elite runners had completed the race before I was over the start line!<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

The first kilometre flashed by – I set off way too fast but I was in clear space towards the front of my group and wanted to stay out front so my supporters at the end of Horse Guards’ Parade could grab a decent picture. After that, I tried to settle down into a comfortable pace but my pre-race efforts to make sure I was sufficiently hydrated set me back a bit (and I wasn’t going to “do a Paula” [Radcliffe]).\u00a0 I couldn’t see the toilets that were supposed to be at 3km so I kept going until I saw a McDonalds at just after 4km – and rushing\u00a0off the course,\u00a0down the stairs into the basement and back out again must have cost at least 3 minutes (I wasn’t the only one to do this either!).\u00a0 Only then could I settle into my planned pace of 12 minutes run, 2 walk at around 12 minutes per mile (I’m not fast!) but the point is I did it!<\/p>\n

I have to say that the whole event was incredibly well organised (by the same people who organise the London Marathon), the weather was kind to us, and even though the water station at 7km had run dry by the time I passed, some wonderful people were handing out cups of water just before, at around at about 6.5km (thank you guys).\u00a0 Kudos too, to the guys who were clearing up the thousands of plastic bottles etc. on the course as well as to the marshalls that lined the whole route.<\/p>\n

So, how did I do? Well, my (unoffocial) stats (from RunKeeper) show me at just over 1 hour 30 minutes<\/a> and the official time was 01:30:04<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though I’m a bit disappointed with my time, I’m absolutely stoked with the achievement. Not that long ago, I couldn’t run to the end of the street. Now it’s time to push on and lose some more weight, then run another 10K later this year (hopefully at closer to 01:20:00).<\/p>\n

The challenge continues…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
