Hi Ed,
So.. today was the first 2000s outdoor performance. Very nice weather but strong winds, especially leg 1,3 and 5.
I ran on a road back and forth, GPS (not 100% reliable on elevation) registered 4 meters difference between low and high point on 2000 meters. Almost flat.
7:53 (163 hr avg- rest between 1-2 low 120)
7:49 (166 hr avg- rest between 2-3 low 123)
7:50 (169 hr avg- rest between 3-4 low 130)
7:55 (169 hr avg- rest between 4-5 low 127)
7:58 (172 hr)
Time incl. rest 45:44
Overall hr avg: 168
My thoughts:
Pace today was slow compared to the last ones on treadmill but it is not comparable. The conditions today was not the best either, I feel quite satisfied anyway to be able to pace avg. 7:53/2000m.
Not sure if I will be racing next Saturday as planned, it is another race 19th of May and I think I have some work to do on the times above.. I want to feel prepared and stable on sub 4min/k over distance.
Regarding allergy, tried medicine this week but felt like I been ran over by a train. Think it is better with a runny nose and some sneezing instead. If it gets worse I will try something else..
Cheers
