Morning, post race update.
The 10K was a flat course, mixture of tarmac and cross country.
Race time was 51.03 - this wasn't a chipped time race.
[URL="https://www.strava.com/activities/1570907652/overview"]My 1K splits, from starting at the start line and hitting lap at every 1KM marker were.
Time - Av HR
4.56 - 155
4.59 - 164
5.02 - 169
5.01 - 172
5.04 - 174
5.05 - 177
5.12 - 178
5.12 - 180
5.16 - 181
4.56 - 182
Overall start to finish time of 50:43[/URL]
The first 1Km used up a lot of energy, got stuck behind people and had to do a lot of weaving. Apart from that I maintained decent running form all the way through, 7,8 and 9 were a tough slog along a bit of cross country and was able to speed up again for the last KM.
Pleased with the performance considering its off the back of only 1 cycle through the plan. Nice to get a race under my belt and looking forward to the next one which is a quarter marathon in 3 weeks time.
TheEd, based on this race, shall I start the next cycle using 4.55 for the 2K session, and 4.45 for the 1K session?
Cheers
Boony
