Good Morning!
I did my 4K time trial today. Time is 20mins and 43 secs.
I was targeting 2 mins per 400meters/or per lap. In the first 2 laps I was ahead by 2 seconds/lap (vs the 2 minute target that is). From the 3rd to 5th lap, I started losing about 3 sec/lap. From the 6th to 10th lap I lost 6 secs/lap.
Personally, I can't get myself to push harder always on the second half of my runs. I am blocked to shift gears as my mind tells me that there is still a long ways to go in conjunction with the fatigue setting in. Maybe you can give me some pointers here coach? Is it a mind over matter thing or a conditioning issue?
Awaiting your kind comments. Cheers!
