Today I had an 8km tempo run on the program, to run at 6:29 to 6:32 pace.
3km warm-up, drills & strides in the soccer field.
Virtual Partner was with me again & I'm enjoying having someone to run with for a change! He was to run @ 6:32 pace to finish in 52:18
Today, I allowed VP to get ahead up to 30m for most of the time so as I would have something left to overtake him towards the finish! I did....just!
I think VP is a good tool for race training in not going out too fast & 'busting your guts' at the finish or worse...at half way! Just let him have a small lead but keep within striking distance!
8km in 52:14!
Avg. speed 6:31; Max. speed 5:18
AHR 124 (78%); MHR 136 (86%)
1km splits..... 6:34; 6:41; 6:26; 6:29; 6:32; 6:35; 6:31; 6:22
Distance today 11km
