Hi ThEd - its great weather here - how is it in Sweden?
I did the 5k race today.
I ran 18:10 for 8th place (2nd M40).
It was a twisty and undulating 2 lap course. I felt great today and conditions were perfect.
I think all the 21k training has made me forget how to race 5k a little! :jester:
I really enjoyed the event, even though I was found wanting for a bit of pace today. I did a nice 8k easy with my team mate after race and felt fine.
I am going to do this 5k event again next Saturday. I think it will sharpen me up for a 10k I have entered for 27th November.
Next week;
Mon - easy 60
Tue - 3 x 1600 @ 5k pace
Wed - easy 60
Thu - standard fartlek
Fri - rest
Sat - 5k race
Sun - easy 60
By the way - the winner of todays race was a South African 800m racer called Warren Frey - he did 15:16 :ok:
