Hi TheEd,
it was the best one! New PB 39'49". Thanks to an insane last km in 3'33" pace.
I started at a good pace and created a "cushion" before facing the 4th km where there was an uphill. It took some energy to go through it but it was going according to my plan.
But after that I lost time in the 6th and 7th with the u-turns, tried to get back on track in the 8th, and got caught in heavy traffic of 5km slow runners at the 9th.
So, when I crossed the 9km sign, I was 15 seconds behind and thought I just had to go fast as I could for only one km. So I ran it like I never did it before and crossed the finish line below 40 minutes. Amazing! :great:
Here the splits:
May 24th - 10k race
Temp: 16C
Km|Time
01|03:55
02|03:56
03|04:00
04|04:06
05|04:00
06|04:06
07|04:06
08|04:00
09|04:06
10|03:34
Tot|39:49
5k splits: 19'57"/19'52"
Once again, it's great to see how the 10k program works so well for me and other runners.
Cheers.
