OK, so this wasn't quite the 4/5km, but thats ok. The effort wasn't the best run ever as a few things went wrong. Just after 1km my HR strap unclipped itself and fell off. Luckily i caught it on the move as it fell out of my vest, I did have to slow up to get it reattached firmly and back in place. At 2km, a flying missile (in the form of a giant bug) hit the bulls"eye", quite literally, and caused a quite a bit of discomfort, again i had to slow down to remove the foreign object from the my and got going again but within half a KM i was hit with a stitch. It just wasn't meant to be that night, i had to back off the pace slightly to hold the stitch of until lap finished. (I had left it until 9pm to go out as it was baking all day). I rest the watch and cooled down. Other than the mishaps, I felt good. legs were strong, breathing under control etc. I felt comfortable until the stitch and felt like i could have accelerated through the last two KM for a strong full effort finish. definately more in the tank.

Disgusting feeling of heartburn all the way through this one. Refluxed several times en route, not nice. The mental strength to complete it makes up for the lack of mental strength to complete Saturday's session!
Going to get back to stretching, foam rolling and strength training as of tonight. Some little diet tweaks in the offing too. I've been a little slack with these and feel its what is holding me back from a breakthrough to next level.
The plan is a virtual 10km on the 28th June, as per originally scheduled race (they are throwing out free medals for virtual runners and deffering entry to 2021). I have roped in some racing buddies to run this with so we are not doing the big efforts solo. So as of last night back onto last two weeks of cycle, so 6x1 tomorrow again. Will be looking at about flat 4s for these, weather dependant.
