Run 5 km NSW - Official Newy Park 24:10 [4] 5.0 km (4:50 / km)
shoes: Salomons June 2014
First ever attendance at Newcastle Park Run.
Came into town for socialisation reasons.
Went into mall afterwards to meet running club people for breakfast.
Very different from Walka Water works with start much more crowded. Pushed very hard but my rapid recovery afterwards meant not claiming an intensity 5 (i.e. I didn't want to vomit).
I was wearing double layers of socks and bandaids on heels which meant I could run without pain.
Effectively "exactly equalled" my Walka Water Work Park Run best ever time of 24:10 set on 10/05/2014 which was pre-ankle injury. From log my 2.5 km turnaround time there was 11:43 and today from stopwatch it was 11:48.
Both my iPhone and stop watch said under 24 mins, and I am sure the RunLab guys yelling out times said "50" as I came in which I thought was 23:50.
According to my iPhone splits
1 km 0:04:30
2 km 0:04:43
3 km 0:04:44
4 km 0:04:50
5 km 0:04:45
Total 0:23:32
So happy to stay under 5 minutes/km mark consistently the entire course.
Think the extra training I have started is going to help and an "official" sub 24 minute time is possible.
