Hi TheEd - hope things are good for you.
I ran 5000m on the track today. It was a good race in perfect weather - mild / overcast / no wind - simply great to run in
I ran 17:21 - a new PB by 32 seconds.
I got my pacing right and went from 13 to 9th - it was a seniors race so I was pleased as a veteran not to be last :o:
1k splits
1/ 3.26 162hr
2/ 3.30 166
3/ 3.30 167
4/ 3.33 169
5/ 3.22 175 (max HR)
ave hr was 165 for race
Felt good and I ran my own race. Perhaps I could have gone for home a lap earlier - but I am learning?
The 6 x 1000 intervals have paid off - the program hits the spot :great:
Legs good - 1 hour easy in the morning.
Now for a good cycle pre 1/2 marathon :mrburns: am I to do the normal sessions this weeks ahead?
Thanks again for your help - D
