This was great! Wow I really surprised myself today. I can race 8k! Went out quick-ish and smooth but at tempo for the first 2k. Kayla and I hung out those first 2 laps together as she used me as a human wind shield lol. Really focused on each section and what I needed to do like rolling the down hills etc. Grinded up the hills well today too and would feel exhaustion by the tops of them but would soon recover while rolling the down hills. On the third lap I was only thinking about crushing people and pushing it harder than I wanted to. May have settled a bit on the back half where it was only flat but was making a continuous effort to catch people. Felt like I was crushing the last lap as well but didn't really make any ground on anyone at that point. I was moving quickly but I don't think I've ever run with that small of a heel cycle through. It was more of a quick shuffle which was working for me but I'm not sure how I feel about how my stride was. I ran it like a disty today but I wanted to be able to sprint it ahha. The last 500m I was able to give myself a shot and lift up the legs a bit to finish strong. On the ground at the end but noticed it to be more body fatigue and my lungs were able to recover really quickly. I was happy with my effort throughout. Feeling fit...and I'm thinking there could still be more there.
Note: Last year while running 6k I averaged 4:05/km. This year while running the same course I averaged 3:57/km and while running 8k!
