Program :5kmI decided before leaving at around 11:00a.m, that I was going to make this 5km the fastest I'd tried for in all the Saturday 5kms I've done so far in training for Canberra marathon.
And I did! By almost 4 minutes...actually 3:52!
Out & back 2.5km each way past the air trip where there were lots of light aircraft getting ready for a day's flying...just like me!
The last kilometre & a bit was all uphill, but I forged ahead with great gusto, knees up, arms pumping, & huffed & puffed my way all back to the start!
Results : 5km in 34:47......3:52 faster.
Avg pace = 6:54
AHR = 87%; MHR = 89%.
Laps = 6:26: 6:33; 6:35; 7:08; 7:51
HURRAH!
Woo Hoo! That's fast. The second ranked female 80-84 in the US raced 5k in 34:14. Number 1 had a marathon time of 6:06.
ReplyDeleteNice run yesterday too. You're coming good at the right time :)
