Tempo run night, 3k warm up then I started with the goal of maintaining 4:00/k. The first 5k were easy and relaxed even easier than a real tempo, no problem to maintain the pace, km 6 was somehow harder, the last one I felt I was going to die. I wanted to do another one taking advantage of the slight downhill terrain and finish with an 8k, but at 7k my body completely stopped. Finished the 7k in 27:55. 3k cool down. Overall right now this is my greatest weakness I have no stamina over the distance, I have no problems to maintain some decent speed, in races and in training, but after 7-8k it becomes no longer sustainable. I have to work on that, doing more miles and longer intervals.
