Ed,
Ok so I was unable to sign up for the race as it had sold out by the time I got my act together. So I did an easy hour run on Thursday, no data as I turned off my watch after a couple K by accident.
Took Friday as a rest day and ran my 5K tempo/paced run today. I tried to start off at 4:30 but couldn't get the pace right. I look at the pacing on the watch which isn't all that great it bounces around a lot. Here's the data. I did a 1.5K warm up and down as well
1K 4:21 AHR 160
2K 4:26 AHR 168
3K 4:27 AHR 171
4K 4:33 AHR 172
5K 4:25 AHR 174
Max heart rate 176.
It felt tough but I think i had some more in me, not much. I don't think I could have done it twice though for a sub 45 10k. not yet anyways.
Thanks for all your help so far this is the fastest I've ever run a 5K so I already feel great about it!
