So I was out of the door at 06:30 this morning with the intention of doing a 5K run .
It was bright and sunny already but a nice cooling breeze as i started my warm up walk
I decided to do the NRC 5k run .
Mr Garmin locked on straight away this morning and I was off .
Had to conciously keep the pace down initially as fresh legs always want to go quicker !
It was comfortable for the first km and just settled in by 1k and was warming up .
The first split came out at 07:52
The 2nd section is a slight downhill some of the way so very easy to let the pace pick up too much so again I was very conscious of this and just let it come a little quicker than the first km and it came out at 07:37
It was certainly warming up by now , the sun was a little higher .
Luckily I was dressed for a hot run ,
Very light shorts and a light running vest .
Around a corner now and onto the uphill bit , I managed to keep a steady pace and the 3rd km came out at 07:22
The next section was similar, with an uphill and downhill section and infact the split came out exactly the same at 07:22
I was getting quite hot by now and starting to sweat a bit , it felt like the temperature had already risen a few degrees.
I was glad I didn't go out any later !
On to the last km now and let the pace pick up and I finished the last split comfortably at 06:47
The horse in the picture is in a field just where I stop running so lent on the gate for a minute to cool down then walked back home .
More water as I got in , Stretches done then porridge and a mug of tea followed by a shower.
And as always , feel good after the run π
Happy Running !
