Bournemouth Parkrun #140
17/386
Glorious day, some breeze, but conditions perfect for a PB. Well, for most people. My legs are still shot from two days back, but I thought I give it a shot. OK 1st km, slowed on the 2nd more than I should have, OK on the 3rd (considering the climb), but by the end of the 4th I was 10s down on what I think I needed to be to achieve my target of sub 20m (and a PB). So at that point I eased off slightly - not too much but enough to give up on it, and so ended up 15s down on my PB.
I think with all the training recently I have improved my stamina and strength, but not my speed. I can see the results positively in an Orienteering race, but in events like this I seem to still have the upper limit of somewhere around the 4m/km mark for sustained pace.
At the moment, happy with the improvement on stamina and strength for the climbs, and I think that remains the objective for this year. I will see later in the year if I can switch to improving pace and get closer to, ultimately around 17-18m.
