10km PR - 51:49


I wasn't planning on doing an uptempo run today, especially after the 21km jaunt two days ago. This one started out rather leisurely and I was feeling good after 5km, so I decided to try and keep the pace somewhere around 5:00/km for the rest of the 10km run. To my knowledge, this is the fastest I've ever run the distance. It looks like I stopped my GPS watch (Garmin Forerunner 305) prematurely by 0.19m. But hey, who's counting?

I'd like to bring it under 50 minutes, a goal which should be reachable in the near future with a little speedwork and a stronger start focused on consistently nailing a 5:00/km pace. Sprints and fartleks are more of a summer thing which I prefer to run on the trail once the snow has cleared. Shouldn't be long now.
