Hi Ed
The race didn't go to plan this evening. I thought that I could comfortably run at 4min K pace, but my heart rate was right up to 175 bpm after 1K. I really suffered in the last KÃâý.
K / time / HR / Comment
1 - 3:57 - 166 - Slightly downhill
2 - 4.03 - 177
3 - 4.07 - 182 - Delayed by other runners in narrow section (7 secs)
4 - 4.09 - 182 - Delayed by other runners in narrow section (5 secs)
5 - 4.15 - 182 - Really began to struggle at start of this K
5K time: 20.32
5.75 - 3.05 - 184 - Pace 4.11 per K
Total: 23.37
My resting heart rate was nearly 20 beats a minute higher than normal before the race which was strange. I was putting it down to the nerves of the race, but also I've felt a bit run down over the weekend?? Don't know if this effected my performance?
