After a rest day yesterday, I set out today on an easy run. I started listening to fast music at a non-specific tempo, then switched to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I avoided looking at my Garmin until about fifteen minutes in. I encountered a number of other runners, and was at times motivated to try to chase them down. Around kilometer 5, I encountered a pair of runners doing 4:30/km pace, and it took great restraint not to speed up to pull them in. I think my pace was still too high for an easy run, and I will try to amend that in future outings. HR max is likely an artifact, as I have no recollection of my heart rate vacillating so erratically.

Yay, sub 50-minute 10k? I am tempted to see how fast I could run some time trials, but my training hasn't focused on speed. What would be the point? Once I start doing speedwork, I will run time trials.
