Improving

[Chrisrox]

Thanks,

10K PB is the 39:28 from last month, actually only have two 10K races and two 1/2 marathons under my belt:

1/2 marathon Sept 2013: 1:31:14
10K April 2014: 41:04
1/2 marathon Sept 2014: 1:26:14 (slightly faster course than in 2013)
10K April 2015: 39:28 (same course as in 2014, which involves some hills; about 140m ascend and descend, start and finish same place)

The race on the 30th of May is known to be flat and fast, that's why I am targeting sub 38, although I realize it might be a stretch.

OK, did the 6x1k session targeting 3:40 pace today:

Time AvgHR MaxHR MinHR
03:42 174 179 135
03:41 174 181 140
03:39 177 183 143
03:36 178 184 144
03:43 178 183 148
03:52 178 185 148
22:13

The last two reps involved slight uphill, especially the last third of the last rep. Felt quite good overall but was running out of gas and got a bit demotivated seeing the pace drop in that last third. I guess half the extra time on the last rep is the uphill and half is me not quite able to push through. Overall satisfied though and legs feel OK.

Now for bachelor party weekend, aiming for an easy run on Sunday afternoon.

Your thoughts are appreciated!
