Hi,
5km didn't go according to plan, everything was rosy up to 3km. Then the 4th km had an offroad stretch that just dragged my pace down. As if that wasn't bad enough, I was in the lead, and the lead car driver didn't know the route, apparently replaced someone else, so sent me down the wrong way to finish and was faced with a load of barriers. Ended up running 4.9km in 17:00 which works out to 17:21 5km but those last two km wrecked things. My splits were:
3:22
3:22
3:25 (10:09 through 3km - 3:23/km)
3:47
3:04 (900m)
Even with a bit of a slow down anticipated I reckon I could have closed out the last 2km in 6:55ish and finished around 17:05 or so. I was very surprised by that first 3km considering I haven't done a speed session for more than a month.
Should I do another time trial or how do you suggest we proceed from here?
Cheers
