So I went for my run and boy did I work hard. I set my Garmin up to do 5 mins warm up, 1km run between 5 mins/k and 6 mins/k, 3 min run recovery and repeat another 4 times. Then cool down. It was lovely out the sun was shining but I found it really tough. I got back and looked at the stats and my oh my. The 5 x 1k were
1 -------- 5:12
2 -------- 5:17
3 -------- 5:17
4 --------- 5:40
5 --------- 4:59
Overall it was 8.09k in 49:26 and now stupid Asics has adjusted my plan as my average pace was 6:09 mins/k rather than using the average of my 1ks. Oh well live and learn.
Fantastic run though and can't believe the last K which was partially uphill
Have a great weekend all and go go go!!!

Goodness, that's brilliant! You did work hard didn't you? Well done x
Wow, that's some great splits you've got there GF.
Not sure I udnerstand the bit about MyAsics adjusting the plan - is it increasing the target time for your 10k based on the 6:09? That sounds counter intuitive.
Thanks Tomas, Yes it adjusts your pace based on average rather than the 1k splits pace
Do you import your Garmin data into MyAsics? I did for the first few times but then stopped bothering as I don't have any intervals in my plan and it seemed easier to just let it use an average. I didn't know if it was clever enough to read more from the Garmin data than just a straight average pace with regards to intervals.
Going by your last post is the plan asking you for your average 5k time minus the recovery runs (putting you at 26:25 and within the target time)? If so, I would be tempted to tweak the numbers and stay as you were.
Thanks Frocky yes I just imported the garmin run into myasics. I may have to tweak the numbers as you suggest as using the overall average doesn't seem sensible
I stopped uploading the Garmin data as it didn't seem to accept it properly. I tried to upload one of my races and it just wouldn't accept it as my race so I ended up doing it manually.
