Afternoon,
5K paced run just completed...
Thought I'd run during the hottest (by UK standards!) part of the day, as I don't normally get to practice running when its warmer.
1k - 4.20
2k - 4.36
3k - 4.37
4k - 4.31
5k - 4.27
So total time of 22.31, my quickest 5K paced run before this was 23.34, so I've made good progress. Felt nice and controlled for the 2nd/3rd/4th Kms, and was able to pick it up slightly for the final 1k.
So, 10k easy tomorrow, 30min easy on Monday and then back to week 1 on Tuesday for a full 3 week cycle before I race on the 23rd Sep.
Any advice or suggestions for the next 3 weeks? What sort of pace do you suggest for the 2k, 1k and 5k sessions? And is it worth tagging a 5th rep onto the 2k sessions if I'm feeling strong after the 4th rep?
Cheers,
Boony
