Getting Closer & Closer All the Time!

Back to Bowral cycle paths for today's session.

Program : 7km

4k easy warm-up + 3km @ 7:25 pace. Optional few extra kms afterwards as warm-down.

Don't look at Garmin at all during 3km!

I stuffed up, of course! Afraid to find out later I'd run slower than 7:25 pace, I ran all the faster!

4km warm-up in 30:56. Pace = 7:50

3km in 21:31. Pace 7:08....that's the 'stuff up'! Laps 7:10; 7:06; 7:12. AHR = 112 (75%).

2km warm-down included some strides & a few drills.

I should have done strides before starting. I felt more 'awake' & energetic after doing them than I did during the entire earlier session!

Today's distance = 9km
