10k Tempo in 40:38

Good one today. I was going to do mile repeats around 10k effort, but kind of wanted something continuous to practice half marathon pacing and effort. This worked beautifully. Definitely the longest I have run at half-marathon effort other than in a race for some time. I kept a bit of an eye on the power, but mostly ran by feel. 6:32 average pace, 368 watts average power, and 164 BPM: 6:39, 6:37, 6:35, 6:31, 6:31, 6:25

PM: 4.4 miles, averaged 10:10. HR 120.

1 Hour of Power + Segment Attack

260 watts @ 151 HR for the hour and got the KOM by 1 second. Felt pretty good. One hour pacing is tough. Not 100% effort, but maybe 85-90ish. I will try to repeat next week and go a bit longer to retrain my durability.
