So the day arrived for the run we all trained for at work. My goal was to get under 25min on the 5k and I managed to do that with a good margin. My time is actually from I was handed the baton until I handed it off again which is probably why the distance it slightly off. It was very windy yesterday but it didn't really cause any problems in town. My max heart rate was 195 and my average heart rate on the last kilometer was 194 so I think I pushed myself close to my max. Distance: 5.09 km Time: 23m:56s Average speed: 04:42 min/km Average heart rate: 185 bpm URL: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/12612455 Hopefully I will have some more time to do some interval, progression and other types of training that will help improve my time on runs like this one. I would like to see a time around 22min next year..... we'll see if that is possible.
