At the top of the Gallops, 16 July 2014Run #30 and a new PB; 27 minutes 59 seconds for 5km.

I set off very fast, in the back of my mind the idea that I should go out to beat the fastest 5km so far. I was out of breath almost immediately. So it was somewhat of a surprise when the pace for the first 5 minutes was over 12km/hr.

Spurred on I then pushed myself. Slightly annoyingly getting slower and slower as the run went on*. Anyway, despite this I knocked over a minute off my previous time. And given how tired I’m feeling this seems like quite an achievement.

 

*I need to find out if the pace is average for the run, or average for the last period.
