Hi,
No problem Ed!
Today is day 12 of the 4'th or 5'th cycle(I lost count...), so I did the 5k paced run. I decided to run it on the course where my next race will be(5.57k race on 18'th of June).
Target pace was 4m:10s/km. Except 1'st km, I'm pretty satisfied on how I managed to pace myself considering I can't rely on my watch for this course.
So, the breakdown:
5k: 20m:30s @ 4m:06s/km @ 182bpm avg HR
I probably pushed a bit harder than necessary, but it felt comfortably hard.
I sent a PM with a link to the Garmin activity. GPS data shows 4.87kms, but I ran 5k on a measured course. Can you also check the PM I sent a couple of weeks ago regarding your questions about my running form? Thanks and have a great weekend !
P.S. I'm thinking of racing a 30km MTB race tomorrow. What do you think? I'm not prepared for it, since I didn't ride that much, but I was thinking it might be enjoyable .
