Steve NordRunner Sep 2022 2:04pm, 10 Sep 2022 1,868 posts	0 Steve NordRunner I finally managed to get back into this no-man’s land from the slow side with a virtual 5 km race 24:45 which gives me a WAVA of 67.2. A few years ago I was in the low seventies but it's harder to get back there being older M65, it seems. . As a side-note, I used a Garmin feature that I haven't before: run against a distance-time target. I set 5 km and 25:06 on my watch and just watched the numbers, a bit like what was Virtual Partner. I liked the ETE data field particularly.

Hard some decent rain since and the going was bit softer today. Probably the most even run I have had in months. Used to love the feature where you could run against previous you on a course NordRunner, I have a pretty basic Garmin so it just has Virtual Pacer.
