Kieren Jun 2021 6:12pm, 15 Jun 2021 4,185 posts	Quote Pin Kieren A big PB for me from Monday' evening's Sri Chinmoy 5K series 19:07 = old PB - since March 18:45 = Monday's time - taking me to 74.16% WAVA It's a fast course. The BBC Weather "feels like" was 29'c and the warmup jog there (2K walk, 3K jog _ strides) felt it. Thankfully there was a strong breeze on the course which helped a lot. I went out way too fast and was running a 17 minute pace for the first 500m. I felt good but realised my mistake when my faster friend was still only slightly ahead. I backed off convinced I was going to blow up around 3K. I still went through 1KM too fast but managed to hold on. Garmin Splits: 1. 3:38.2 2. 3:47.5 3. 3:49.5 4. 3:47.7 5. 3:38.9 + 0:05.7 (course measured finish vs gps splits) A 2 loop tarmac course around a park. I misjudged the finish spint, getting around a corner expecting to see the finish only to realise it was the next corner - about another 200m! I really enjoyed it and felt strong. I think I have another 5 - 10 seconds in me but want to focus on training for a bit now before I try again.
