Thomas drafting off Brendan during the early miles at Ballycotton.

My Mile splits for yesterdays Ballycotton 10 were slightly out as they only added to 65:01 as I rounded down the splits on the watch so here is the stats for the record:-
(Mile, Pace, Avg HR, Cum time)
1 - 06:47 - 143 - 06:47
2 - 06:25 - 159 - 13:12
3 - 06:35 - 162 - 19:47
4 - 06:35 - 162 - 26:22
5 - 06:32 - 164 - 32:54
6 - 06:33 - 165 - 39:27
7 - 06:25 - 165 - 45:52
8 - 06:22 - 168 - 52:14
9 - 06:38 - 168 - 58:52
10- 06:12 - 172 - 65:04
My clock finish was 65:20 (not the 65:15 I thought I saw yesterday - the 16 second delay tallies with Brendan and is a second greater than the 15 seconds Thomas got).
I'm debating whether or not i'll go for the 5k next weekend as I'd rather keep to the training programme which has my first scheduled progression run next weekend over 16 miles. No point in testing my 5k PB if I don't give myself a chance by mini-tapering. The 5k I had in mind is the "Joey Hannan Memorial Croom 5K" which is over an hour from home on this day week (Paddy's Day).
One thing I learned from yesterday is that if I want to give myself the best chance for a sub-40 min 10k next month I need to warmup so that I can get into a fast pace from the off.
ps. Richard, well done on breaking the 70 min barrier yesterday. I didn't realise who you were until I put 2 & 2 together with the results.
pps Congrats on the new addition to your family as well - I meant to say it after the ESB 5k.

Still a very consistent set of splits. Blinding fast in my book. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI'd lay off the 5K next week. You're not going to get much out a fast 3 miler one week after a great 10 miler. You'd get more out of a nice long run.
Good luck ...
Those middle mile splits are amazingly consistent - one of the things I did not manage to get right.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably skip the 5k, too. Or run the 5k, and then do 10 miles or so afterwards.
Congrats on the 10 miler. Based on that timing, it should be easy to break your old PBs in 5k, 10k, 21k, and marathon.
