First 6.44 km (4 mile) in 28:26 @ 13.6 kph. 13.3 kph is marathon pace. The reasonable tail wind helped the pace no doubt but I felt good. Mostly jogged back but made sure to sprint across the bridge, up the two big hills and the last stretch home. The headwind provided good resistance. Back slowly in 40:20. Happy with the run. Tomorrow a half marathon run at a solid pace. |
