After my last (and first) 3000m a couple years ago I was back racing on the track, at Brighton Track Night, for probably my annual track race😆
Anyway I prefer the longer distance so with a PB from a while back of 9.25 I was looking to go much better this time round.
After warming up, drills and strides I lined up with the other guys of mixed ages from around u17 (my category) through to senior.
When the gun went I was running comfortably at the front for the first couple laps, feeling a lot stronger running at some decent speed than before. One of the quicker guys went off with the pacer running at 8.15 3k pace and I stayed towards the back of a group of about 8 guys strung out after.
Coming into the final lap I put in what I had left but my calves were pretty dead, with this being about my 5th time running on the track in spikes ever too, but I came in for a PB of 8:41.89, knocking off 45 seconds on my previous and putting myself currently 15th on this year’s British Rankings with just one track race this year.
I managed to negative split each km and ran an avg pace of 2’54″/km, so it was a pretty good run.
