Hi TheEd
Yes, definitely not worried about the five minutes - even if I was, I would have been more worried about the lightning directly overhead as was running in quite an exposed area so wanted to get inside ASAP! :O
All has been going well. I've been back home a few days now, it's been really nice running in the cooler weather conditions again even though I'm back at higher altitude. I started the second cycle of the build up period on 13th Oct. Here's the update since my last post...
9 Oct
11.5km in 1:00:37
5:16/km pace
Av HR 139
Evening run, quite cool
This was going to be the start of the new cycle but I ended up having a few days off after this!
13 Oct (day 1)
11.98km in 1:02:43
5:14/km pace
Av HR 147
Morning run, hot/sunny for most
14 Oct
12:01km in 1:03:17
5:16/km
Av HR 146
Morning run, hot/sunny for most
15 Oct
11.25km in 1:00:41
5:23/km
Av HR 147
Morning run, hot/sunny for all. Felt a bit tired afterwards.
16 Oct
Rested
17 Oct
9.10km in 50:06 easy hills
5:30/km pace
Av HR 145
Elevation gain 157m
First run back at 2,600m, feeling OK!
18 Oct
Feeling a bit tired so decided to rest
19 Oct
15.01km in 1:17:53
5:11/km
Av HR 145
Felt pretty good. My GPS watch tells me this is my fastest 8-15 miler since I got the watch in 2017 by 5 secs per km.
Have a great weekend!
cheers
