5K Slow to fast

Sugarland Run 5k, started slow and kept HR under 160 for most all of 2 miles. Then kicked it into gear for final mile. Finished in 22:07.

Well-paced 5K in 22:41

Went out very slow and tried to keep HR in 150's. Just held it there until the very end when I sprinted the last 1/4 mile.

Push just a little harder and I get tired. This seems to be the optimum tradeoff, pretty quick without getting into debt.

Sore

Yesterday it snowed again and I took off.

Today I ran 5k in 22:37. I started very slow 9:00pace and kept getting faster and faster, finishing with an average pace of 7:15.

Finishing Well

I started at 9:00pace and finished mile overall 7:27 pace, the second in 7:15, and the third in 7:05 or so.

My 5K today was in 22:37.

Fast But No Record

Saturday afternoon I ran a fast local 5k.
I finished
the first mile in 6:53,
the second in 13:36, <6:43>
the third in 20:21, <6:45>
and the 5k in 21:04 <43sec> 6:30pace>

This was 7 seconds slower than my personal record. Check out my Heart Rate and Speed below. It was a nice even effort, the heart rate rose gradually throughout. But surprisingly it was slower than my pr.

Avoid the Snow

Todays goal was a moderate 5K. I went out towards Dry Clean Depot but found the sidewalks very snowy/icy and changed direction. I kept doing that until I got home.

Hard 5K

With my two oldest kids needing to leave for Dulles to fly to Bryan College for a scholarship interview in just 40 minutes, I took off and ran 5K as quickly as possible. Maintained a 6:53pace for 4K, but slowed at the end and had to run in snow because the road shoulder was covered. I think I finished in 22 minutes.

21:24 would have been my time if I had maintained the pace. Actually I might have done that. I will have to look at the graph.
