First postgrad run: that was confusing.

Well thought until the last 10 mins that this was going to be another difficult to finish slow run, but Strava begs to differ rating it as my best yet. Tbh at 10 to 15 mins was feeling it was so slow and hard that i had told self that if we got over 20 a break/stopping woukd be allowed as im on my own now. But at 20 a second wind kicked in and i made it to the end. Pace of 7.4 average which is a full K off the last run, and i appear to have done the first km at an unheard of 6 (which i need to get under 30 mins). Didnt go over 8.2 in whole run. Very confused but still pleased.

Pace is weird - it comes and goes, but it sounds like you had a good run once you got through the 'toxic 10'. Keep going!
