I started with an easy 5k as a warm up, then the 5k tempo at 4:00/k. During the first 3k I was exactly on pace, the last 2k were fun, I opened the throttle and finished the last 2k at 3:55/k. Overall 3:55 is closer to the 10k pace, I have to lower my expectations and run more km at slower pace (4:05/k is more reasonable). I finished with a 6k cool down and half mile walking to enjoy the cool night breeze. |
