Nice and comfortable 5k in a less than comfortable wind.

My twin aims of slowing down while increasing cadence appear to be working. Really enjoyable 5k, well within myself and within my planned heart rate limits. 5k took just a whisker under 37 mins- not massively slower than when I push hard, which is doubtless a lesson-but I was really fresh at end...did an extra, really slow 0.4 km to cool down. The wind was a bit of a beggar though...although it was amusing to see crows flying forwards but actually going backwards.

The cadence is really helping to reduce the impact on my legs-or at least it certainly feels like it- and feels much more comfortable than when I was lolloping along like the farm-bred clod-hopper I am, with all my 96 kg pounding through every step.

Happy days.

You've learnt to jog like me!

Sounds great, well done for running through the wind though, it's hard.

You have found your sustainable, happy pace! Brilliant run.😊 x

What was your pace? I look at this and it gives me hope.

Love your backward flying crows. The wind hit here last night. I thought the roof (under which we sleep) was going to lift off at one point.

7.36 m/km.

That’s pretty impressive.
