Hi theEd,
Well had a good day at the office today with a 5km PB of 17:55!
It was a parkrun event so course was over gravel paths,tarmac paths and grass and a bit of a hill with a head wind thrown in for good measure. Some of the paths were in wooded area so not sure if I can trust my Garmin too much regarding pace times as I had it set to autolap at 1km intervals.
The lap times were as follows:
1 3:31.2
2 3:48.9
3 3:52.3
4 3:27.7
5 3:14.5
lap 2 and 3 were into a stiff headwind and an uphill section which is probably the reason for the slower times but managed to make up for it on the downhill section.
Last 1km was very tough and it was a help to remember I had done this in training and what it felt like and know I can push through it.
Anyway onwards and upwards!
Delighted to break 18mins, was going to be happy with any improvement on my previous 5km attempt so this was a surprise!
