Hi TheEd,
Apologies for only posting now. My quick 5K was supposed to happen yesterday, but because of a long and stressful workday I didn’t get out to run until 9:00pm. By then a hard effort wasn’t going to happen. So I just did an easy run - 30:38 at 6:05/km pace.
I decided to do the 5K effort today at lunch time instead. My km splits are below:
1km: 5:27 (HR: 142 bpm).
2km: 5:28 (HR: 156 bpm).
3km: 5:37 (HR: 158 bpm).
4km: 5:29 (HR: 156 bpm).
5km: 5:38 (HR: 158 bpm).
Total time: 27:39 (average pace: 5:32/km pace).
This was around 10 seconds quicker than my 5K effort last week on the same course.
Happy to be getting faster, but there is still much work to be done.
What is the next steps? A few easy days and then re-start the programme on Sunday/Monday?
Many thanks for your time and advice as always.
