My pace was a whopping 21 seconds slower today, as I once again struggled to get my walking pace under 9:00/km–which I finally managed by the fourth km, just before switching to running.
The first running km was over six minutes, but the second was a pretty zippy 5:35/km and I was satisfied with the fact that I was able to keep running the whole length of the trail, as it was 31ºC at the time. I was once again saved by low humidity (only 32%), the trail being mostly in the shade and the occasional breeze actually feeling a slight bit cool, almost fall-like.
The lower strain also meant a lower BPM. I actually felt pretty good overall, despite the heat.
I will probably try for another full 5K run the next time I am out. Excelsior!
