Two great performances Davie. It just shows you that the aerobic engine is the key to good performances in all distance races (and anything over 800m is mainly aerobic and is a distance race). So with all your massive aerobic training and ultra-racing, it does not take much speed work to put some pace back into the legs and to maximise the benefit of your aerobic fitness. It also shows you not to get hung up on the watch and just run by how you feel, especially after all your years of racing. I rarely look at mine during a race; just at the end to see how much I have declined and afterwards to go through the data on Garmin Connect. Alan
