State 5k: 17.57min

After a wild night of weather I was suprised and very relieved that a calm day greeted us this morning. Ran quite well and with the exception of the 2-3km split which was consisted of the turnaround and a few hills managed to hover between 3.31-3.35 min/k.

My heart rate seems to get to its max at about 500m and then stay relatively level for the race. I think the next race I might try going a little faster to try and pick up 5-10 seconds.


All in all 17.57. Quite happy with this and considering I have a had a few weeks of inconsistent training due to work committments, a 19 second improvement is not too bad.

Next race is the Freo 5k in 5 weeks time. Been back for 9 weeks now so its time to unleash a greater training intensity.
