Workout #2....Tempo Run

"Oscar".....my lovely Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, 11 years old today!


Today's progam was :
2km warm-up
5km @ 6:50m/k (based on 5km time 32:30)
1km cool-down.


2km from school to Renwick
5km through Renwick & streets beyond.
2km cool-down (1k extra to get back to the car)


5km in 32:08
1k splits =  6:26;  6:30;  6:17;  6:29;  6:24
Avg. pace =  6:26 m/k (same pace as Tuesday's track.)
AHR 80%.

I was OK with today's 5km which was faster than most previous 5k tempo sessions
The morning was ideal :  quite cool, misty and looking like rain.

Today's 5km
Total  9km.

  2. Something doesn't add up there... you ran 2 minutes faster than the programme called for. Did you have to thrash VP by that much? Poor VP!
