Ok, time to report some new data from my latest sessions.
Wednesday: 30 min easy, 6.34 km, 5:05 min/k, av. HR 154.
Thursday: 60 min easy: 11.8 km, 5:10 min/k, av. HR 145.
Friday: Rest Day
Saturday: 5 km "race pace". 19:01, 3:48 min/k, av. HR 185, (max HR 192)
5k broken down:
Km time avHR maxHR
1 3:36 176 186
2 3:49 185 188
3 3:51 187 190
4 3:53 189 191
5 3:54 190 192
Was quite happy with this 5 km run. I ran it on a track, so managed to hit a surprisingly good pace from the beginning. Guess I was eager not to fall behind schedule from start, as I was unsure what pace I actually would be able to achieve. I might have been running a bit too fast, as I felt after 5k that I would have had trouble keeping that pace over another 5 k, still I feel this result was good news with regards to next weekends race.
Probably I`ll have to add some time as the race is on concrete, with some ups and downs, bur I think I will stick to the sub 40 goal now. What dp you make of this:mmm:, TheEd?
