#181: Portaferry 10 mile race recap, pacing by effort and having gratitude for running

<p>Today&#39;s episode is a recap of the Portaferry 10 mile race which I took part in for the very first time having had it on my list of races to do for a very long time.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The race did not disappoint with great weather, amazing scenery and a challenging course to boot. The support and organisation were superb and with a 2 x 5 mile relay option, it&#39;s a great race for everyone.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>I talk about my race prep and how the race unfolded in real time, how pacing ended up being by effort rather than being a slave to the watch and how I managed to get my insulin and fuelling right for a distance I&#39;ve barely ever raced.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>To send questions for the upcoming Q&amp;A episode, message IG @therunningrules or email <a href="mailto:alan@therunningrules.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">alan@therunningrules.com</a></p>
