  • not a race 5k

    From Ed Prochak@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 7 10:25:19 2023
    Did an outside 5k run yesterday. Goal was actually just 30 minutes
    (Yes, I am SLOW 8^)

    It was a new route done in 72 degree heat. When I looped back
    to the start, I was over 4k, so decided to push and get a time trial
    for myself for 5k.

    Good news is the last kilometer was the fastest (7:30/k), and
    the not so bad news is the total time was just over forty minutes (40:13).

    Course was flat so I have no excuses. I just want to get back to
    a steady 10minute per mile pace again. Once I have that I can start
    putting in longer runs.

    That's all.

    Enjoy the run,

    Well done on getting back out there Ed. Apologies for not replying sooner. I’m sure if you want it badly enough you’ll hit your goals.

    Hey, this is usenet. No deadlines. No apology needed.

    I'm waiting for some consistently warmer weather to start some speed work.
    For now the plan is just to stick to 30 minute runs, three days a week.
