Mo Farah's interview
Imagine a double Olympic gold medallist being asked that question? Haven't you run before? Is this your first time? And him not revealing his victories in shorter distances and at a greater level. Very humble indeed.
Checked out his time and the King of Negative Splits haven't quite nailed it in this distance. 14:31 then 14:07 for the first 2 5 kms finishing just under 1:01. Which means the last 11kms were done in around 32 mins, 2.87/km vs 2.93/km in the 2nd half.
His splits
New Orleans is a lovely city and lots of joggers spotting in the garden district along the tram tracks the last time I went. Not ever short of good music and food!
As for me? I almost haven't run .... Lifting tiles on a cold Saturday caused me to forfeit my last and only long run before this Saturdays next race. A sharp pain in my left gluteal left me unable to start. Never happened before. Whilst the clock was ticking, leaving my training partner to do his 1:30 run, I went to the high street, shopped and had an acupuncture . Struggled with standing up straight all week. Taking things slowly after a second session on Monday and hoping to be only just in shape for Saturday. I can manage 10 min jogs on the treadmill but have to see how it all goes. Fingers crossed.
