Asics Run for Gold 10km

I've done this race twice before, around the beautiful Swan river in Perth.
Started off well enough, 1km at 5min/k pace and then around 4:45 for the next 6k. I felt great but unfortunately I felt a dull throb in my right calf. I knew it wouldn't be getting better and sure enough, it turned into a regular pain at around the 8k mark. I managed to keep going but it was painful and I finished in 48:06, my worst time for this event.

I need to improve my endurance, so my long runs will be increasing each week. Only hitting 12k at the minute, which is no good if I want to race 10k.

Long time, no update

I'm still alive! Very little running over the past year due to life problems *sigh* but all good now. Have a couple of months of training behind me and looking forward to the Asics Run For Gold 10k this Sunday.
