Target: 10K 5:31-5:42

Oh, and I found this scribbled at the entrance of Oak Hill Pak:

I have that before all of my company presentations. Even more so when I’m presenting to a customer….

10K Training – Day 29: Race Simulation – Day 8

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo, Strava

Target: 10K 5:31-5:43 min/km

Achieved: 7.87km 49:57mins, 6:21 min/km. I trialled the 10K route I will be taking during my run and it’s very varied – varying inclines and a lot of narrow, muddy paths. Since I wasn’t sure where I needed to go, I had to stop multiple times to get my bearings. I think I turned off too early, which I kind of suspected.

Since the path is also under trees, I did lose GPS a few times.

Next Run: Monday, 5km, 7:38 min/km
