Windy and Cold Tempo Run.....

Try as I might, there was no escaping this morning's cold wind, although I did manage to run the middle part of the run outside of Renwick streets where there was some protection, be it ever so little.

Program : Tempo Run
3.5km easy
5km @ ST pace (6:16m/k)
1.5km easy.

Before starting, as usual I did a few drills.
   
3.5km easy...out of Renwick

5km in 31:30.6.......thought this a good 5km time!

6:27.9;     6:25.6;     6:17.1;     6:27.0;     5:53.0.......under 6:0 m/k!  

For me, to run the last 1km under 6 min is very unusual! In fact, unheard of! I was very pleased with this 5km in spite of the cold wind and a few steep inclines along the way.

5km tempo run

 Total 10km.
