Decided to increase the rest pace a little today (around 10:30 min/mile jogs), but still managed to maintain paces a lot better (around 7:45 min/mile) – probably helped by the fact I decided to try it without any incline on the treadmill this time. Jury’s still out on that – will continue to experiment. Having not run a 10K recently, I’m still not really sure if I’m back to, or even above, my fitness prior to my May 10K, but I’m definitely getting there I think.
