I'm nowhere near the running level I was at this time last year! So frustratingly slow this morning; I couldn't keep anywhere near the pace, especially in the second half. Late start at 10:15 am - not that that's unusual - but it was so humid and hot; I even took a few walk breaks on the return because I started to feel a bit squeamish...possibly the weather and the course was far from flat. Altogether, I was very disappointed in the results and very cross with myself!
Program:
10km Time Trial @ 6:47 min/km.
I used the first 2km to warm-up.
5km out from Radio Road to Old South Road
Time = 35:36
Avg. Pace 7:02 min/km
5km back
Time = 42:10
Avg. Pace 8:32!!!! This is terrible!
Total = 10 too slow kilometres!
That IS terrible! If you were a student handing in that standard of homework your teach would make you write 100 lines. Or give you six cuts of the cane!
ReplyDeleteJust chalk it down to a bad day. We all have them.
Yeah, but I'm having too many of them!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be fair on yourself - running when it's so hot and humid isn't going to give you a very accurate idea of where you're at.
ReplyDeleteThanks Char! I've always been pretty hard on myself; maybe it's time to lighten up!
