Hello 
5k paced run target pace 4'10
1k 4'03 bpm 86
1k 4'04 bpm 115
1k 4'05 bpm 134
1k 4'12 bpm 140
1k 4'08 bpm 139 effort 6/5
total time 20'34 @ 4'07
To be honest this is the first real 5k paced run ever. All the other cycles I have been doing shorter races on those saturdays. The truth is I am disappointed with the time: viewing last 2k and 1k times I thought I could run it under 4'00 pace, so I started too quickly as usual probably.
On the other hand this 5k was on a similar circuit (not tartar) and morning hour of the day as the 10k race next week : temperature was around 25úC, around 10úC higher then usual training.
I am really puzzled by the heart rhytm numbers, they look either way too low or either I am weak and cannot push myself to higher bmp. I was really exhausted and could not maintain this pace although the bpm looks ok.
Next 10k race will be around 25úC or higher as well I guess, and the last 2-3km are not flat anymore. I think I have to set myself a realistic goal of 4'20 average pace of 43'20 time despite having trained for 4'10.
Regards
