Fastest ever 30km and would have been on for a marathon PB wooo!
I’m not sure if I got lucky or the hard work at the gym is paying off but that was a bloody good run! Started off well, different shoe lacing felt good and new thin socks didn’t bother me. It was going a bit too good to be true until I hit Staunton Park/Havant area and the gps was so far off the actual route I spent at least 5 minutes going round in circles including up and down Havant Park Run slope, yep you know the one! 

Feet started to hurt at 20km and a lot of foot movement on a sidewards slope so stopped to tighten the laces. Probably not a wise idea as tops of feet hurt a lot after that and left toes went numb. Apart from a very sore left foot, I felt exceptionally good on this run. Sprint finish at the end, last km was one of the fastest. Still had some left in the tank but I was glad it was over, my poor tootsies. 

GPX route didn’t follow the actual Staunton Way in places so not sure if it will be accepted but I did get the GPX from the FKT website. Annoying getting lost. But so so happy to have smashed the current FKT by nearly 30 mins. A boost of confidence just what I needed! Half a hot cross bun with jam and PB and 1 gel consumed on route. Not enough water for sure!
