Or as mellow as running can be.
After working fruitlessly on my PC this morning (though inside the case is a lot less dusty now), I opted to do a shorter run this afternoon. This also allowed me to miss the rain (yay). It was 7C and felt quite mild. I wore two layers up top (no jacket) and never felt chilly. As usual, there was little wind.
I ran the river trail and after declining the suggested run on my Forerunner, set out on a more relaxed 5K, as demonstrated by the low BPM of 148. Despite this, my overall pace was still 5:50/km, which is entirely respectable.
The pace varied quite a bit during the run, too. Observe:
2nd km: 6:01
5th km: 5:35
Overall, I felt quite good, not straining or stressed at all. And finally getting a dry run again was a pleasant bonus. Even my watch agreed, saying I only need 48 hours to recover, just in time for my Friday run, when I’ll go back to 10K.
