Thanks The Ed. Really looking forward to it, except the 7am start time!
Final prep seems to have gone well. Did an easy 5k yesterday @ 5:43/km.
Today did the 6x1km on what I would consider to be do-able race pace and they averaged out at 4:43/km.
Will probably rest fully tomorrow rather than do the 5k, as I've noticed the legs a little bit less bouncy than last week. I think a full day's rest will do me good.
Plan is to set out at 4:50-5:00/km pace and then assess at halfway point. If feeling comfortable I'll increase the pace slightly for km 6-9 and then try for a quick last km. If not feeling very comfortable I'll continue at the same pace.
Will report back on Sunday! cheers
