Hi Phil,

On Saturday 22nd May I ran the 10k Beast in the East at Swanley in Kent. A very different 10k Cross Country run where you start on a motorcross circuit for the first 1.8k then go out into the woods before returning to the motorcross section again at the end. This was a real tough 10k, the motorcross circuit was heavy underfoot and had some very steep inclines that killed your stamina. Really enjoyed the run and finished in 20th place out of 350 runners with a time of 46.53. I would recommend these types of run as they are a bit different and add variety to your schedule. Now looking forward to the run on wednesday!

Sorry I didn’t make it to the Bunny run – I was tempted but thought I’d ease off after the british military fitness 10k at Nutfield on Saturday -  which turned out to be fairly relaxed (53 mins with hills, obstacles, water, etc…I should have gone faster…had plenty of energy left at the end0

Select britmilfit 10k /5k London  …. Then search for race number 694 (search box at top right of the page).  That’s me, that is…..in a very yellow top……looking very dashing…..

I’m aiming to make it to a creakers Happy Valley run soon – now the clocks have gone forwards I can run over to the Fox by 7pm if I get home from the office in time.
