River Ness 10k - race day

Going all out for the 50' 10k, started fast and kept going. Still only managed 50'42" according to the chip (I made it 10'39"). Still a PB, and my heart rate averaged 170, and peaked at 178 - so I think I left it all out on the track.

The first 5km was 21 seconds under 25', so another PB (I think)

Wet and cool - not bad for running, not windy.

Interesting to find out that last year was 51'18" - so a 38 second improvement over the last 12 months. Same again gets me to the magical 50 minutes

Intervals

Back to the gym. 2km warmup at 10km/hr

Then the main event: 5km, mainly at 10km/hr, with occasional intervals at 13.5 km/hr, trying to run according to HR monitor - Up to 170 in the intervals, relax back to 150 in the slow. Need to actually do it properly, as I was wimping out at 165.

Total distance this week: 25.69km, this year: 85.71 according to Nike+, plus 0.92 missing = 86.63 km
