It’s the first week after base phase for 2014. I signed up for the 5k run with zero tempo or interval training.
I set Garmin 310xt to 6:22 pace for PR.
The course was fast. It was weird to run anaerobic after months of long slow sessions in different sports.
The body performed as expected:
Mile 1: kept up with the pace—as opposed to suppressing the urge to follow the leaders.
Mile 2: struggled to maintain pace—losing distance with each incline.
Mile 3: unable to hang on.
The perceived result was far worse than actual.
For the final mile:
Perceived:
MHR = 180
Avg pace = 7:15
Actual:
MHR = 192
Avg pace = 6:55
Chip time: 20:00:40
